The Art of Sleep

*Darkdesyre:iconDarkdesyre: reports, March 20, 2008
For most of us, when we are fall asleep we enter the world of dreaming, where creativity flourishes and ideas for our next painting and drawing start to surface. We are free of that part of our mind that judges new ideas as "good" or "bad" and so we are able to explore, experiment and grow. If you are anything like me, you keep a notepad close by to jot down those ideas that occur when you are asleep, so that you can write them down when you first awake and dont have to fear forgetting them. Now many of these never go anywhere, most for lack of time or clarity. But those thoughts that are reoccurring do often wind up in my work. It is when I am asleep that my mind continues to solve the problems of my paintings or drawings, and often the solution that seemed so problematic when I fell asleep, is crystal clear when I wake up.

Here are some wonderful examples of the art of sleeping, you can almost feel a part of the dreams of those pictured below... =)

















Sweet Dreams!

Thank you for bringing these points up, they need to be promoted, seriously promoted! Being a creative dreamer for quite a while now, I have learned about so many places and ideas , that I would never had known about if i were "stuck' in the awake world for all of my creative time. Creativity is 24/7, we just need to have the mind set to access our subconsciousness when we sleep. It does take a lot of practice, ( and you don't need peyote :-) ) You only need to be aware of the fact that you have the capabilty of infinite creativity within yourself......
When you first feel yourself slipping into sleep. tell yourself that "tonight, when I dream, I must look at my hands" (casteneda) After many tries and self realization, you WILL "see" your hands. It may take a very long time , but when you get there, you'll freak with joy! After that there is NO limits......thanks for the awesome thoughts.
:icondarkdesyre:
I always try and fall asleep thinking about whatever Ive been working on in the studio... after a night of dreaming I always see it in a new light or a new direction and know what I need to do next. So much of our creativity can come to us in our sleep without the barriers of our waking minds and ego. You bring some excellent points to this discussion, that as artists we should learn to channel and use this productive downtime as effectively as we use our time awake!

I often do the the same as you, but sometimes, if I'm really stuck about something, I actually get "guides" that basically, give me the answers I'm looking for. And it all happens with just a smile or a nod from them, and I awake "knowing'. Too bad they can't speed me up a bit :-) But that's ok, I'm in slow mo all the time anyway. Thanks for the great conversation, I still think you could sculpt though, truly, I do! Nice talking to you my friend, talk to you again soon, jack
