Dreams have captivated people working in all fields of study ever since ancient times. For the ancient people, they might represent messages from gods or a form of advice given to them to make decisions about their lives. Studies by scientists and psychologists, who study dreams, show how dreams are how our bodies are reacting to reality by sending our brain messages when we sleep. What sparked the interest in this subject is how dreams have been a theme in art ever since the ancient times. This project is based my own definition of dreams as well as experiences with dreams. Being a dreamer, life is a struggle between dreams and reality and thus my project tells of this struggle though the form of storytelling.
