Dream Time
As the title suggests, this is a scene from a dream. It is a composite of ten images taken over the past decade. The muted colors are typical of a dream state, as are subtle distortions of space and time. The two people here look across space and time to themselves as they were eight years ago or eight years in the future.
The strong symbolism of conflict, here between the dangerous, terrible storm and the safe, dry house, between wind and calm, typify the drama of a dream. These opposites help to define and reinforce each other. What is peace without conflict, joy without sorrow?
Our thoughts and fears influence our dreams. One might wonder about the connection between dreams and reality, which at a deep level belong to us equally. Perhaps reality itself may be just another kind of dream, one from which most of us never wake up.
