Some people might say that dreams are overrated. Not me. My dreams have helped me identify, define and challenge the composition of my existence. It also pushes me to seek and find; to make discoveries. That's what it's about. My dreams serve not only as a window but as a teacher; not always allowing me to be handed the right answer, but often to make expeditions and find them on my own.
Everyday experiences are often a dreamer’s greatest inspiration. Understanding the significance of dreaming has been studied and dissected for years by many educated scholars. Personal opinions and experiences don’t always coincide with scientific or psychological findings because every story is completely unique. However, knowledge of them has helped me define its significance and my own interpretation of what dreams truly mean.
What I’ve come to find is that dreams are personalized. The dreamer’s input is sometimes more important than the dream work itself. Since emotional, cultural, political, social, spiritual issues and common everyday interactions are all part of a dreamer’s reality; it is therefore condensing emotions, objects, events and story lines and creates a dream. Perceptions help shape the content of a dream and without an understanding of the dreamers experiences, the dream can be as one dimensional as watching television without sound.
I am on a personal voyage set out to awaken a part of me that has been neglected and deprived throughout my adult life. This is why I have started this blog; to begin sharing my artistic experiences as I begin to re-discover the composition of myself.
yay im the first to comment, but here it goes. i feel the same way when it comes to arts... i havent lost the poetry yet but the artistic abilities of picking up a pencil have been long gone. hopefully i'll start with my painting skills all over again and illustrate my dreams poetically and visually. =]
