I'm disappointed at how little discourse I've seen on liminality mentions Carl Jung. They're missing a central aspect of what makes a thing liminal. All attempts to explain keeps skirting Jungian theory. Jung brought the Latin word for threshold into English/German. Before it referred to "spaces," it meant the space between consciousness and unconscious. Where "subliminal" means below the threshold.

The feeling of a liminal space is feeling is of *seeing a dream you've had before,* except you're conscious.

Not precisely what you'd dreamed, but akin to it, a mashup and reimagining of places and experiences known to you. Reconstructions of old houses you've lived in, weird malls, schools you've never attended. And even though there might be people in your dream, technically, you're the only one there, and you wake up knowing it.

That's not the only button liminality presses. They talk about the other buttons, but gloss over the most important.
