A Lab that gets alive by redesigning dream memories and navigating the epistemological maze of memory reconstruction. A ceaseless pursuit of transcending the confined material world embodies creatures made of body parts from the material world to overcome humanity. It is a forgotten lab produced by the reconstruction of memories. Memory shapes personal identity. It is often seen as crucial for maintaining a sense of self and continuity over time. Memories of past experiences help individuals construct narratives about themselves and understand their place in the world. This idea suggests that memory is not static but rather dynamic and subject to change over time. Here we see the virtual world of the perception of a dream system. The emergence and transformation of body parts are intricately tied to the reconfiguration of memory within dynamic spaces characterized by a perpetual flux of multiplicities and assemblages of the creature's bodies. Within this framework, the perpetuation of systems hinges upon the ongoing manipulation of attention and memory, influencing the continual emergence and metamorphosis of body parts that now take shape. In the abandoned laboratory of nightmares, dream assemblages of possible worlds echo this intricate interplay, where the production of body parts is shaped by the manipulation of attention and memory within these dynamic spaces.
