ART IN YOUR DREAMS Ishana Khiara 8ACL
Art can be found in various places, even when you least expect it, for instance, your dreams. Allowing our dreams to inspire us can enable us to conjure up seemingly random and often bizarre images from deep inside our subconscious. By the end of our lives, it is estimated that most of us will have spent 50,000 hours dreaming. That is six years spent amongst the night-time phantasms which disturb, delight and perplex us. Formed in our minds and yet alien to them, the dream's enduring mysteries have long captivated artists and writers. The boundless capacity of our dreams summon art that could be unimaginable to some. As French philosopher Michel Foucault expressed it, 'Every act of imagination points implicitly to the dream… the dream is the first condition of its possibility.' No artists, perhaps, without dreamers.
