Command

$ sb get 4BAWJ4X03F@1 --preset lucid -o dream-swell.wav

Source: a soft pad chord (root, fifth, octave, major tenth) of band-limited saws; every note is doubled with a few cents of detune on each side and slowly wandering vibrato, which gives the chorused, hazy wash. A pink-noise breath adds air, and a quiet bed of sines two octaves up supplies the high shimmer.
Body: a low-pass opens from dark to mid-bright as the swell rises and closes again on the way out, so the spectrum moves from muffled to open and back (the memory coming into focus, then fading). The shimmer is tremolo-modulated at different rates per side so it glitters without a pitch.
Envelope: slow attack to a peak at about 60 % of the length, then a gentle fall to silence; no transient.
Variation: length, chord root, haze (low-pass ceiling and noise), shimmer level and stereo width; `rng` shifts the peak time and the detune offsets slightly.
