Inception/ Seeding The Dream

Art making is slow going these days.
I was finally able to catch the rhythm of painting this afternoon but have nothing new to share. I've gone through this often enough to know not to get unduly concerned or cranky. Sometimes the creative process requires a restart, a reseeding of ideas to grow in dreams before anything can manifest. (Saw "Inception" this weekend and enjoyed its many conceptual levels of the dreamscape.)
Thought I would share some dream themed collages and altered photos I've made through the years.

"We are such stuff
as dreams are made on, and our little life
is rounded with a sleep." Wm Shakespeare


Always so
embarrasing!

I have had healing dreams
that have literally changed my life overnight.


" In a dream
you are never eighty." Anne Sexton


A dream
of an infinitely nourishing art.

"All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream." Edgar Allan Poe

"You may say I'm a dreamer,

but I'm not the only one,

I hope someday you'll join us,

And the world will be as one." John Lennon

wonderful post on dreams-- love all the quotes and images. I also saw INCEPTION-- I usually do not like all that shoot em up action stuff but this was also very thoughtprovoking and some of the effects were cool.

Lovely and creative post, Marie. I'm a believer in finding our truths in dreams...
