As I keep investigating my mind for information
about these mysterious dioramas, I’ve been finding other experiences that are
similar to them. However, some of them aren’t just as concrete, as if they were
not yet mature for being called dioramas. Some are scenarios that come to my
imagination with minimum stimuli, but they don’t present the same solidity for
me to wander through or blend them like actual dioramas. These transitory
dioramic structures are what I’m calling proto-dioramas.
They behave like dioramas as being
quintessences of crests that can be disassembled in tile-like elements of a
whole scenario. That is, it happens when I experience a crest like a
combination of Garnets and Peridots from this church courtyard and previous
experiences from these gem crests are available for me to build a vision in my
head, a sort-of ready scenario that can be ‘explored’ like actual dioramas, but
only available while I am experiencing this crest.
There is one vision I have in my head which I
can’t still identify as being this proto-diorama or almost a full diorama, but
it’s something I call Surreal Horizon. One defining aspect of it is that this
is built from my dreams, and I actually remember the one it is from, dreamt
years ago. And I think this is getting more solid as sometimes I feel it’s even
connectable to the Cloudy Highway
diorama. And also there’s the Scandinavian Rain, which is from an experience I
had as a child and that’s related to the the German Farmhouse and even the
Church Courtyard from above.
It’s tricky to go about calling them
proto-dioramas, as I am not sure if they will become future dioramas themselves
or another dangerous returning quintessence on the subject, or a rash mixture
of gems and dioramas and crests, which would be a strange mess. And sincerely,
I feel this idea of proto-diorama is a bold step beyond what even I can
actually confirm, so this is mostly an experimental text to see if I can
possibly describe what I am seeing.
