D reams are science, art, and the unconscious mind is a modest, teasing exhibition that grapples with a large and weighty subject. Dreams are organizes the unconscious and art about the unconscious. Dream were the royal road to the unconscious, that they revealed in disguised from the deepest elements of an individual s inner life. There is an unconscious, and dreams are indeed the royal road to its understanding. The art critic, Donlad Kuspit, contributes some provocative thoughts on the diminishment of the symbolist vision into the surrealist s commodification of dream language.
Dreams are like in a movie.
They re produced and directed by a higher power, but the star is always that person. Dreams are simply unwanted material at the end of the day and the process of dreaming is valuable, but the content is mostly irrelevant. Because dreams are elusive, they are as elusive as the glints of poems and stories. Dreams show us something about how poems and stories are made and how they are made convincing and the logic of dreams is the logic of poems and stories. What makes sense to the emotions is what makes meaning.
