Abstract

Is dream the closest thing to reality? The answer is unclear. Dream has an air of mystery, and thus, it is interesting and important to explore it in the contexts of painting, the surreal, phantoms and imagination.

Logic is not characteristic of the dream realm: in dreams, we believe in anything – everything seems real. Perhaps we accept the reality of the dream as the only truth: in a dream, we can become any creature we wish, look any way we wish and be of any shape we wish; we can dream that we are puppets, sexless, or hermaphrodites. What matters, however, is what we feel. I will try to explain whether, in a specific environment, in a specific defined body, we determine our thinking, and why it changes, why the mind gets confused and the perceived statements are accepted by our consciousness in a hyperbolized way, or are eliminated altogether, and why the environment is observed through the eyes of a “ghostly human being”.

In the first part of the article, while trying to answer the above questions, I will present a dream I have created using the compilation (recycled fiction to create a dream mirage) and “dreamt” methods.
