In 1899 Sigmund Freud introduced his theory of the unconscious in respect to dream interpretation. Dreams are the royal road to a timeless unconscious, providing us with a hallucinatory gratification of unmet desires, sinful or not. In ancient times, dreaming was considered a supernatural or divine communication, whose message could only be deciphered by spiritual minds. Nowadays, over a century since Freud's time and people still seek to find a meaning to their bizarre dream residues. Be it a simple click on online dream dictionaries or a visit to the closest psychoanalyst, dreams will definitely unfold lots of information.
Of course, the purpose of this article is not to indulge in such a discussion, but merely to set the context. What happens when the lovely fleeting muse of inspiration decides to pay you a visit during the REM sleep? Chances are you won't even remember her in the morning.. Shame, I know.. But if you do remember her, then a masterpiece could be brought to life. Such an example was Giuseppe Tartini's "devil's trill sonata". In 1713, he dreamed he made a pact with the devil in exchange for his soul. Devil gave him a servant that could play the violin so astonishingly beautiful, beyond the boldest flights of fantasy, that enraptured and enchanted him. He immediately woke up and wrote the melody on his violin, claiming to be the best music he had ever composed.
There are many similar examples. My point? Embrace your fantasies, free your minds, expand your consciousness and don't be afraid to create. Art is a subjective form of beauty. Fashion as well..As long as you like it, it is beautiful.
