Dreams update
Dec. 4th, 2008 11:03 amOkay, I said I'd update with art, but I'm too lazy and distracted to scan right now. Instead I was inspired by a weirdshit dream this morning to work on dream journal updates. I've been working hard on the dream journaling actually, writing up a lot of older dreams from my childhood that I still remember, scanning childhood dream illustrations. These are mostly more recent dreams, in the sense that they happened when I was basically an adult. Next dream update will be all childhood stuff.
First dream in the list, this morning's adventure. The thing that wacks me out about dreams is that I am a very creative person, I expose myself to all kinds of art from the fluffy to the morbidly bizarre, movies, illustrations, comics, books, museum art, etc. With all that I come up with, I could not make this shit up. I mean, seriously. WTF subconsious??
Okay, old and random and short: Strange neighborhood. I think I've had a lot of dreams where it's set in a familiar neighborhood only not quite right, and I think that's a common thing for all people. I do wonder why.
This was almost set in this empty lot of woods in our neighborhood: Alien mother.
I've made passing reference to the 'bad cats dreams' in the dream journal before, but I can't separate one from another well enough to describe them individually. Instead here is a detailed explanation.
On the more creative front, sometimes my dreams inspire characters. The Amoyé came to me in a dream, and to this day I have no idea why that name. If you don't know what I'm talking about, there are some sketches here and of the character inspired by it all, Melene. Here's the original dream.
And this one's a doozy, I posted this before but didn't link it and kept it friendslocked. Now I can't remember why, except that I'd like to illustrate it eventually. It's an amazing dream with some really interesting symbolism. Two white stags.
I like to share my subconscious.
