Long before I came to Mastodon, faeries were my special interest. I don't think or talk much about it anymore, but my novel Emerald City Dreamer is about faeries and the women who hunt them.

(It has also not missed my notice that the Backrooms realm follows the rules of fairyland.)

A couple years ago I was working on a novelette with liminal vibes, a post-apocalyptic retelling of Snow White set in an abandoned mall being rebuilt by its original security and maintenance system. I really enjoyed writing that. I got stuck on the seven dwarves part (they're all robots hoarding lights), and I think I solved it in my notes but never finished it. That's really sad.

I'm watching a YouTube one called The Comfort of Liminal Space, with the thesis that liminal spaces feel comforting to some people because they want to disappear. Hi, I'm one of those. This is a great insight that I hadn't thought of before.

But so far he seems to be avoiding any connection to Jung. When you wake up from a dream and regret that you still exist while wafts of dream images slip frustratingly away from you, you yearn for that dream where you really did disappear. You disappeared into it when you fell asleep, and you disappeared out of it when you woke up.

That's the feeling that feels hauntingly familiar when looking at liminal photos. Or even being in IRL liminal spaces.

I'm disappointed at how little discourse I've seen on liminality mentions Carl Jung. They're missing a central aspect of what makes a thing liminal. All attempts to explain keeps skirting Jungian theory. Jung brought the Latin word for threshold into English/German. Before it referred to "spaces," it meant the space between consciousness and unconscious. Where "subliminal" means below the threshold.

The feeling of a liminal space is feeling is of *seeing a dream you've had before,* except you're conscious.

Not precisely what you'd dreamed, but akin to it, a mashup and reimagining of places and experiences known to you. Reconstructions of old houses you've lived in, weird malls, schools you've never attended. And even though there might be people in your dream, technically, you're the only one there, and you wake up knowing it.

That's not the only button liminality presses. They talk about the other buttons, but gloss over the most important.
