Hi all. After about 5 adventures, I have some questions that I'd like to raise. First some context :
It seems to me like all three of my breakthroughs brought me to similar-looking places. The first couple of times, it was a tunnel, and the third, a dome supported by columns, but in all cases, everything was covered in the same goo, what I think is called jimjam. This is basically an animated, ever-morphing pattern made of 'full' or 'flat' colours. What I mean by that is that there are not gradients. When one color ends, the other begins, like in a cutout. Everything was made of this same texture. Even the entities - they either live inside the goo and swim around in it, or kinda jump out of it. Another constant thing is that the closed-eye trips always seem to begin with a flowing pattern of exactly two of these colors, no more. And they are different colors every time, seemingly chosen at random.
I have read people describing places that sounded much different than this. Seeing scenes from the past, for example, or creatures with more elaborate features.
So, it feels like I'm a bit stuck in this repeating aesthetic. It's beautiful, no problem there, but why am I there? What does it mean? Are there ways to navigate differently? Am I not going deep enough, or am I going so deep that only jimjam is left?
I'm sure I'll experience other things eventually, I'm not worried about that, but I'd love to hear your input.
