Dream Log #00017
June 26, 2008
A whole bunch of us were going crazy, trying to get enough present tissue...Giant sheets and sheets of them! I grabbed a good pile. Everyone in the room was getting to work, painting their own versions of Mary & Jesus. I didn't want anyone to copy or see mine, so I go up a long white winding staircase with no rails. At the very top is just a small platform where I begin to work on my tissue paper. Despite my efforts to get away from the collective, the paintings all turn out the same.
Analysis:
I hadn't had a dream in quite a while since I started taking that little blue pill... Haha, not Viagra! But the other one, to keep me from being all sad and having nightmares. I think it's good that I don't have or remember them anymore... Anyways, my dream wasn't negative but maybe a window to my other art... Drawing. I think my dream is telling me to go back to it because my routine is becoming insanely dull and artistically lacking. As for the religious reference, I'm not sure. Maybe, church is becoming my crazy person's institution, the only place where I find a little solace. Other times, I just feel like it's not worth it. Like the multitude of Madonna & Child reproductions, lose all meaning because it's being mass produced. Religion has become a mass production of rituals and customs that have no meaning to me anymore. I'm lost in a kind of process ritual and not the true spirituality of finding God. He just seems so far away while we keep our Bibles lodged in our bosoms.
