“A dream is like a second skin, or better, is even deeper. It is unique. A dream is the project of a hidden desire. A dreamer does rarely reveal his dream, just like a player diverts his rival or a simple nosy person. Probably, he is afraid that his dream could disappear forever. Because his real duty is to preserve his dream (Amedeo Modigliani)”.

What is a dream? When the night turns off rational consciousness, our mind is free to lead us where our nature, our most authentic self, wants to go to regenerate: The unconscious. A dream is the psychic result which expresses itself through images and originates from an unconscious desire; it represents a repressed content, and consequently bears a message which can be deciphered through its interpretation. It is a message of the unconscious, namely of the part of the psyche which our ego originates from and through a dream, its images and dreamlike symbols “speaks” to us. Sometimes, it consists of emotions or attitudes refused by our ego, conflicts and traumas which should be revised and integrated, fears to be faced. Participating artists are requested to research this unconscious, hidden desire, to bring it back to reality, to perceive emotions and express it in their work of art.
