A world
Luminous dust that gathers to — or scatters from — the cursor.
Move your cursor across it — every world answers the hand differently. Or let the dream choose one for you, as it does each night.
Inside the scene
Luminous motes that drift and blink, gathering to — or scattering from — the cursor. Its present character comes from the balance below; every visit uses these same rules but never repeats the same path.
How many motes drift
How restlessly they roam
Positive gathers them, negative scatters
How far the cursor's pull extends
Size and halo of each mote
How much they pulse on and off, like real fireflies
Cool violet → warm amber-gold
Dark grass and cattails the fireflies hover over
