A mysterious world where time hangs on a tree limb and the Creative Mind is the Queen. Healing temples of Asklepius in Rome and Greece, Rise of human consciousness in prophetic dreams, Nightmare visitations of incubus and succubus in Fuseli, William Blake and Shakespeare, Hypnogagic images and lucidity of Marquis d'hervey de saint-Denis, Rise of Surrealism, Pay attention to Dreams Images of Earnst, Varo, Carrington to the deep spaces of Matta, Mullican, Anderson and Onslow Ford. . . The way of the dreams is the way of Waking Up. Waking up to our true nature to the infinite depth of our Creative Mind. Dreams come in the language of images, and it is of great importance to pay attention to the art of our mind.
Art inspired by dreams can reveal personal myth and also the transpersonal aspects of the psyche.
Dream inspired art often begins with a dream, however in the act of creation one enters into the Creative Mind where both worlds of dreaming and waking meet. In this lucid state of being, creation becomes a message from the deep source of knowledge where the heart of the artist meets the vision of the dreamer. Every year the art is selected by the ASD art committee which is organized by the ASD Art Co-chairs Fariba Bogzaran of San Francisco and Joanne Rochon of New York. This years jury included Fariba Bogzaran, Faculty member, Department of Arts and Consciousness Studies, John F. Kennedy University, Orinda, California. Betsy Davids, faculty member at the College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, California and Richard Russo author and co-chair of the 1996 ASD program.
