The Music of HEMISPHERES
As you meander through the dream, you'll come across a variety of songs and visuals from Merry Ellen Kirk & JOLENE. This story has sprouted organically out of the HEMISPHERES EP series as well as all of the music of Merry Ellen Kirk & JOLENE, so you'll find song references throughout the journey. A list of the songs & references as understood by MEK as she slumbers, all live on a "Spotify" playlist, which is where songs come from in the Earth dimension.

Where Am I?
You are in the dream dimension, a place which we call HEMISPHERES. This journey is taking place inside the dream of songstress Merry Ellen Kirk of the Earth realm as she slumbers. This is a lucid dream, meaning it's interactive. In each room or space, there is something or other to do or solve to get to the next part of the story. As in any story, the beginning is the most rewarding place to start - so perhaps try The Hallway of Your Mindseye if you haven't been there yet.
‍

Who is Jolene? 
She seems to be some sort of dream priestess who is leading us on a journey of psyche and spirit. Before falling into her deep slumber, Merry Ellen Kirk used to speak of how she dreamt the song "Rise Up Against". In the dream it was being performed by a woman who was a vision of everything MEK wanted to be; she woke up and felt inferior to the woman, and the song, but decided to finish writing and recording it anyway. It became her most well-loved song and opened many doors. Perhaps she can help you open some doors too...

Maybe you have your own dreamself. What would happen if you stepped into those shoes?
‍

I like this. How can I help? 
What a wonderful question!

1. Invite your friends into the world, listen to the music on repeat, add it to your so-called "Spotify playlists", & share relentlessly.
2. Follow Jolene of Hemispheres in the Patreon realm, and/or listen to "shhh... she's sleeping." on 24/7 repeat (or just while you are sleeping, it's very peaceful) to aid in MEK's life support & dream construction.
3. Follow Jolene on the media channels: Instagram, Spotify, YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, Twitter and comment on posts to help defeat the algorithm monsters.

You are in the prologue to a storyworld journey taking place in the world of HEMISPHERES. This zone is called "The In Betweens", where we begin our journey into the dreamworld; where we close our eyes and begin the adventure into the deep recesses of the mind. As in any story, the beginning is the most rewarding place to start - so perhaps try The Hallway of Your Mindseye if you haven't been there yet.

Here is a complete Map of the In Betweens. It's more fun if you figure out how to get around yourself, so this map won't teleport you.

We can only speculate at this point in the story, but she seems to be some sort of dream priestess who is leading us on a journey of psyche and spirit. Before falling into her deep slumber, Merry Ellen Kirk used to speak of how she dreamt the song "Rise Up Against". In the dream it was being performed by a woman who was everything that MEK wanted to be, but didn't think she was. She woke up and felt inferior to the woman and the song, but decided to finish writing and recording it anyway, and it became her most well-loved song and opened many doors. Maybe she can help you open some doors too.

Follow Jolene. She knows the way.
