In this multisensory performance we will trace back the dream to the waking life concerns and experiences that created the dream, while watching the dream take visual form in Julia Lockheart's painting. Uncannily relevant words of Freud will become part of the artwork as objets trouvés and found poetry. The Dream Salon is part of the Cast Into Neath / Gwedd Ar Nedd exhibition at Queen Street Gallery.The discussion of the dream will be moderated by Mark Blagrove, Emeritus Professor of Psychology at Swansea University. The dream painting will be performed live by artist Julia Lockheart, Emeritus Professor at Swansea College of Art, University of Wales Trinity Saint David. See DreamsID.com for more information and artworks, or read our book The Science and Art of Dreaming, published by Routledge, 2023, which was ranked #1 by Amazon for new cognitive psychology books, and #5 for conceptual arts books.Details of event:Attendees who have a recent dream they would want discussed give a brief description of the dream, so that all attendees can decide which dream will be chosen. The dream of one attendee is then recounted and discussed. During this discussion artist Julia Lockheart will paint her visual interpretation of it onto pages taken from Freud’s book The Interpretation of Dreams. Her artworks incorporate the layout, formatting and words from the pages, and are part of the Dadaist and Surrealist movements of performance art inspired by dreams and by dream-like thinking. People who have had their dreams interpreted and drawn by this exciting art science collaboration have had ‘aha’ experiences when the links to waking life are discovered!
