LEONORA CARRINGTON ~ THE RECITAL OF DREAMS

in Art & the Unconscious Mind by

the recital of dreams

You DO know that you are a dream don’t you?
Do you realize how completely alone the Divine Being is?
All that there is is only this Divine Being.
Our Beloved, our Self!
To hide from the Truth the Divine Beloved dreams that It is You!
And Me and All of US!!!
An infinately multiple personality
Look deeply inside of your self.
You will find only Me.
You and Me and Me and You!
But one of us is the other’s dream…
One of us must, in the end, die the death of a lie and the Other return to its aloneness.
But what good is this Truth?
Shall we not have pity on Our Self then and continue dreaming that We are You and I and I and You?
Let’s us live a little longer in this dream
Until we can no longer look into each other’s eyes, fool our selves and see another.
One day my dear mask, my poor victim, That shall crush in upon you and wash you helpless into an ocean you have long forgotten like a grain of sand.
Drowning, you will be forced to release yourself and return to Self.

Leonora Carrington

ANAIS NIN ~ LIFE WITHOUT LIMITS

in Just a bit of everything and everyone... by

“I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn’t impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.”
Anais Nin

FREUD ~ ON DREAMWORK

in Art & the Unconscious Mind by

“The dreamwork is not simply more careless, more irrational, more forgetful and more incomplete than waking thought: it is completely different from it qualitatively and for that reason not immediately comparable with it. It does not think, calculate or judge in any way at all: it restricts itself to giving things a new form.”
Sigmund Freud, The Interpretation of dreams, 1900

MAN RAY ~ ON DREAMS
