Prospectus Feedback

I had received my prospectus feedback from Sweii. I realized the rational and the intend of my final year project is not clear enough. Therefore, I have do some review about the overall project to make sure everything is strong and clear. 

The starting idea of this project is more relevant to personal experience. As a friend around me who has lost her loves one and always having nightmare. One of the issues that cause nightmare is she always having negative thought. However, we might get nightmare from other causes as well such as sleep disorder, stress and so on. While from this "nightmare" perspective, I have done a lot of research until I found Baku which is a mythology creature from Japanese folklore. Baku having dream-eating abilities and people believe that it is a mascot that they place it in their house to against nightmare. I found Baku is a very interesting creature that only happens in our dream that it will protect us in our belief. Therefore, from this mythology creature  and the story of my friend that have inspired and helped me to expand on building a fantasy story.

An article by San noted, "If you are prone to having nightmares, the cause is always the presence of several “strong” fear-based vibrations in you that have not been released from your energy space. A nightmare is an indication of a strong negative vibration, as compared to a “bad dream” which is relatively less intense."

In Japanese folklore, Baku is against to nightmare, it helps people to eat up all the bad dreams but in my Baku's story, I have implemented my friend's story and  made a twist character as this Baku character who became depressed after his master death and got bullied by others. He became very depressed and angry at the same time and from that his personality has change to bad. He started to build out nightmare to the others and he found himself very enjoying doing it. 

In the research in Pindariherbfarm.com, what author has noted is,

"If our negative emotions are very strong then we may be unable to resist acting out their telepathic thoughts, even if doing so is against our "belief" or mental programming. We may be feeling so "angry" that we have no chance to "choose" and in an instant we have perpetrated the "thoughtless" dark deed. We then "find"that we have said or done something that we had not initially intended to do.

Alternatively, when negative energy is directed in the painful "hitting" of ourself or others, it causes a negative energy flow that possibly has a detrimental effect at a later date on the biological self. Whether we are abusing self or others, the flow of that energy darkens our vibrational essence."

When we are in negative emotions, we couldn't control our behavior or mindset and it might cause us to hurt ourself or other else. The only way to get rid from it is to face the problem and stay consciously. 

San noted that the unconscious instinct of human mind is get rid from it and it create fear. However, it fuel up the power of fear in human who unwilling to face up this, this thoughts or fear that causing the production of graphic nightmares. People who misunderstand how realities get created think that staying aware of a fearful thought will cause the manifestation of it, but in truth when you bring a “conscious awareness” to a fear-based thought you are essentially not allowing it to influence your vibration, and thus it does not become a player in attracting your reality. Fears that you try to run away from are the ones that have the capacity to become a point of attraction, in some way, because, unless a negative vibration is dissolved in the wisdom/intelligence of your awareness, its energy keeps attracting some form of manifestations onto it.

Because of that, at the end of story, Baku has met a character who has similar situation but with positive thought and this is how it  change and twist back to the real Baku identity as  from creating nightmare/giving fear to other else to help people against nightmare/create happiness. 

I hope to use this story to spread out the moral value for people who depressed , try to get rid from the negative thought and mix with someone who are enthusiasm in life, especially I have targeted on teenager. The reason of targeting them is because they are still young and might experience depression that they might not handle well. (Look for target audience post, click Here)

This story might not fully help them get rid from depressed but a message for them to encourage them to have a positive mind when they are in the worse situation and develop self-confidence for the user.

Other than that, this story has few little entertainment input to attract user and gain user experience.
