DREAM DRAWING
Mr. Manish Udar, in a recent contribution to the LinkedIn conversation that can be found here, mentioned the phenomenon of analogue drawings triggering dreams. I wonder if any one else has had a dream that was triggered by a drawing, or caused you to draw something because of a dream?
I’m not very good at remembering my dreams. There is probably some deep seated psychological repression at play which we certainly won’t go into here. Yet during one of our real world projects here in the office, I actually had a dream in relation to the project. And the next morning I tried to draw what I dreamt.
The project was a very small modernist addition onto a traditional house. If you are curious, you can see this project here. The addition was done for one of the contributors to Transparent Drawing, .
And I think it was during the construction of the project, that I dreamt that there was a shining futuristic shape hovering above the addition. Maybe I am embellishing the scenario, but there was a bright sun, causing radiance all around. And then the next morning, during my typical AM drawing routine, I made the dream drawing at the top of the page.
Anyone else have a dream drawing interface?
After I made the drawing, it triggered two very favorite songs in my head:
Patti Smith. “Birdland”
Like light, like Mohammed Boxer. Take them up up up up up up. Oh, let’s go up, up, take me up, I’ll go up, I’m going up, I’m going up. Take me up, I’m going up, I’ll go up there . Go up go up go up go up up up up up up up. Up, up to the belly of a ship.
AND
Niel Young. “All In A Dream”
Well, I dreamed I saw the silver
Space ships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun
