Reversed Dream

This piece is made to be a two-finger ring that can be oriented both ways. The ring mimics the feeling of pulling yourself away from a nightmare by stepping up and down through a ladder. Dreams are continuous, and people may repeat the last dream even after they wake-up. The reason behind this is that people dream about something related or familiar due to the subconscious control of brains caused by psychological desire. As a medium, the high-low ladders represent the ups and downs of emotional fluctuations in dreams. From this sense, dreams can either be peaceful or thrilling.
