For this project I kept a sketchpad next to my bed and drew different elements from multiple dreams. It was dark in the room and I was also not fully awake when drawing, so it turned out different than it normally would have. I used charcoal since I am pretty sure that my dreams are in black and white, and it also smudges, creating a blurred dream-like effect. The wave is from a dream I had where there were extremely high waves when I was swimming, there are 22 stars from a dream where I kept seeing the number 22, and the girl and the fireworks are from a dream where I was celebrating New Year’s Eve and wore a dress that I used to have all the way from back in middle school. I don’t really know what any of these dreams mean but drawing them right away definitely helped me remember them better. I found that it was pretty difficult to translate how I see my dreams onto paper.
