From Novel to Expanding Multiverse
Two years ago today, on March 6, I launched my novel LUCID: Life Ultimately Continues In Dreams.
At the time, I thought I was simply publishing a book.
What I did not fully realize was that I was opening the door to something much larger.
Over the past two years, LUCID has slowly evolved into the foundation of a broader creative world that I now call Lucid Futurism. The story explores dreams, consciousness, identity, and the hidden structures that shape how we experience reality.
Along the way I have had the opportunity to share the book with readers, appear at events like Comic-Con and Blerd-IE Con, and connect with other creators whose work continues to inspire me. Lucid Futurism also made a small appearance on an HBO series scheduled to release this summer. More details on that soon.
Today also marks another milestone.
The one year anniversary of the debut of my web comic, The Peregrine Nation, which expands the LUCID universe even further.
Because LUCID was never meant to exist as a single story.
It is a multiverse.
A world where there are worlds within worlds, stories within stories, and brands within brands, all connected through the same philosophical thread that began with the original book.
Today I want to celebrate that journey by introducing Lucid Lore.
Explore it here:
lore.lucidfuturism.com
Lucid Lore is an evolving digital archive of the LUCID universe. It is designed as an immersive space where readers can explore the ideas, reflections, characters, and deeper mythology behind Lucid Futurism.
Think of it as stepping inside the world rather than simply reading about it.
The archive will continue to grow as the LUCID universe expands.
Dream Decoder
Another project that continues to evolve is the Lucid Dream Decoder.
Explore it here:
decoder.lucidfuturism.com
The Dream Decoder is an experimental engine designed to help people reflect on their dreams and explore the symbolism behind them. Dreams have always played a central role in LUCID and the larger philosophy behind Lucid Futurism.
The decoder invites visitors to engage with that idea directly.
What Comes Next
The LUCID universe is still growing.
Over the coming months I plan to continue expanding the Lucid Futurism multiverse in several ways.
And yes, Book Two is on the roadmap, with a target window of Q4 2026.

To everyone who has supported over the past two years, thank you.
Writing a book is one journey. Building a universe around it is another.
Every reader, every conversation, and every new creator I have met along the way has helped shape the path forward.
The story continues.
