Innervision

 

A metaphysical journey through lucid dreaming

We spend a third of our lives asleep, during which we inhabit surreal worlds that seem both familiar and mystical.

Dreams bend the fabric of our consciousness into something which often leaves us in stern, wakeful reflection. Yet, within this strange and elusive world, one in which our mind’s eye can feel like a trapped passenger, it is possible to gain control.

Lucid dreaming is the act of gaining conscious power over oneself whilst within a dream. Those who can harness and hone this ability often speak of its usefulness as a source of enlightenment for inward reflection and personal growth. For if dreaming is a medium through which to gaze deeper into one’s subconscious, then lucid dreaming may be a tool through which to explore the very nature of consciousness itself.

Innervision is the story of a metaphyseal exploration into the depths of this mysterious beyond, through the eyes of one such explorer.

About the Author

 

My name means the direction East in Hindi, which feels fitting for someone often looking for meaning, direction, and occasionally my keys.

I write micro-tales and reflective essays about identity, awareness, and the quiet patterns that shape us.

I’m often drawn to small, everyday moments that hint at something larger beneath the surface. I try to capture them with brevity, humour, and a touch of philosophical observation.

When I’m not writing, I work as a data visualisation specialist, helping people see patterns more clearly.

I live in Sydney with my wife and two daughters. I enjoy observing nature, people, and the strange movements of my own thoughts and emotions.

I write to explore, not explain.

The Development

 
 

The comfortable, placid, middle-class residents of a handsome apartment block in a leafy suburb take on their corrupt local council and an international building developer.

The council, led by a cunning mayor in the pocket of the developer, together with his manipulative CEO, secretly grant permission for a 45-storey tower on Windy Point Common, the residents’ little green sanctuary but also public land. When the apartment dwellers find out, their outrage and indignation drive them to start a protest movement that eventually galvanises the whole community. Led by elderly aristocrat Willow Davenport, the group’s members progressively uncover a series of shocking intrigues and illegal acts, and counter this malfeasance with brilliant tactical and legal moves, including using the media and stock market to their advantage.

Can a bunch of ordinary citizens defeat city hall and big money? Will people power win the day?

The Lies Life Tells: And Why We Need Them

 

A Collection of True Stories of Life Behind the Mask

Beneath every smile is an untold story. In The Lies Life Tells: And Why We Need Them, Jess Timpano explores the quiet truths behind the faces we show the world. This deeply moving collection of real-life–inspired narratives uncovers the lies people live—fabricated personas, masked emotions, curated lives—not out of malice, but out of necessity.

Through raw, vulnerable storytelling, the book sheds light on how we often hide our struggles to protect ourselves, to belong, to cope, and sometimes simply to survive. Each chapter offers a glimpse into the unseen battles of individuals who wear masks not to deceive—but to breathe.

This book is for anyone who has ever felt the pressure to pretend. It is a reminder that behind every composed exterior is someone doing their best to hold it together.

Sometimes, the lies we tell aren’t to escape the truth—but to endure it.
