Idios Kosmos
Dream is art’s accomplice. We are all artists in our dreams: at such times, unusual, often symbolic images arise, along with surprising stories and exciting associations, which relate to the world that we experience while awake in an autonomous manner. The images of our dreams show conspicuous similarities with works of art. “The dream is World, the world is Dream,” wrote Novalis.
Novalis: Heinrich von Ofterdingen (John Owen’s translation). Cambridge: John Owen, 1842, 195.
