I finished writing a essay on the similarities and differences between Surrealism and Realism at 2AM this morning, slept for a few hours a woke up to go to class but decided to stay home instead. Frankly I wish I had stayed in, or had gone back to, bed, but I didn't.
In any case, Surrealism - an idea that is directly related to the dream state of a person. It is believed that the your dreams allow you to release the emotions that you hide in your subconscious, and thus your dreams are also a way to expand your imagination, freeing it from its "slavery" from the real world.
In a way, the ideals are true, and I understand them. I don't feel them right now though. Possibly because I haven't really been able to remember my dreams lately. It has been a while since I have remembered a dreamed. It is curious because my friend asked me the other day if I had been happy, and I honestly don't remember. I don't remember that last time I actually felt happy. So no dreams, and I'm not happy... so what, right?
I don't know. Lately, I haven't felt any emotion really. Well I have been frustrated, and I could say scared as well, but I think those were the last feelings I rememer feeling, and that was a little more than a week ago. Should I be worried at all? I really don't know.
But back to Surrealism, imagination and dreams...
Well. no. I just just imaginations, and maybe dreams. Day dreams. I have spent most of my weekend this week either writing essays or reading comic books. Losing myself in comics books. I have read probably over 200 comic books this weekend, which if probably terrible. An ultimate way to procrastinate.
