where to begin

There are so many possibilities of where to head with this studio, my brain kind of malfunctioned, and the thought process froze over.

Now I think I might be interested in using: that period between sleep and consciousness, that haziness/sleepwalking/insomnia/ hypnosis/ dreamstates/suspended animation/ etc. as a starting point. Where it might go from there? Hopefully it will follow the path of psychosis, because that's how I like it.
