What began as a fascination with dreams, imagination, and the future evolved into a growing multimedia universe exploring consciousness, Afrofuturism, storytelling, and human potential.

The Spark

A lifelong dreamer and worldbuilder, Akili followed the questions consciousness kept asking — and started writing them down.

The Book

LUCID — Life Ultimately Continues in Dreams — introduced Evan Wheat, Irimus, and Solar City, the foundation of a wider mythos.

The Platform

Lucid Futurism grew into an expanding Afrofuturist ecosystem: books, comics, videos, mythology, lucid dreaming, and emerging IP.

The Vision

Lucid Futurism is an Afrofuturist media platform and superhero IP universe — a place where dreams become gateways and imagination becomes infrastructure. It exists for creators, dreamers, and future-builders who believe the next mythology hasn't been written yet.

From the LUCID novel and the Evan Wheat universe to lucid dreaming guides, video dispatches, comics, apparel, and live conversations, every property under the Lucid Futurism banner serves one purpose: expanding the future of consciousness and culture.
