Surrealist, the dream
Popular belief has it that when one has a bad dream, one should not disclose it to others, for fears it might come true. What happens when others tell you that you have had a bad dream, then? I had a terrible dream last night, I did. It was utterly scary, and I was injured in it by a movie star. Do not smile, it was very frightful. The pain of the injury was horribly vivid, and my presence in the setting of my dream was perfectly physical, and yet I knew I was dreaming. Towards the end of the dream, that superstar was about to inflict more pain on my dream-foil, and I was desperate to get out of that situation. I wanted to end the dream so badly, and I eventually succeeded.
In the morning, someone told me I was grinding my teeth so excessively, and the sound of it kept sleep away from the person’s eyes. This remindes me of Dali, possibly my favorite artist of all times, a true original. He captures my dreams on canvas.
Salvador Dali: A flamboyant painter and sometime writer, sculptor and experimental film-maker, Salvador Dali was probably the greatest Surrealist artist, using bizarre dream imagery to create unforgettable and unmistakable landscapes of his inner world. His most famous work is The Persistence Of Memory.
I’d say that the majority of dreams have fantastic imagery that doesn’t necessarily correspond with what is happening in the real life.
