On this series of “Techniques of Writing”, we are going to throughoutly explore clever and creative ways of writing.
On this occasion, we are speaking about one of the main (if not the main) sources of inspiration of surrealists: The Dream.
First off, we have to know a minimum on what dreams are:
On Told on one Page (2015), I referred to dreams in these terms:
“Dreams
Are both a portal and a mirror.”
According to Psichology, whatever that may be… Dreams represent the true, bare and cruelly sincere, Ego. Id est: Our deepest desires, which may be dark to plain Black, our outmost fears and, above all, everything we have repressed during waketime.
Of course, ultimately, no one, but ourselves, may gain truth about our oniric world…
So let’s write and example:
Let’s say I’ve dreamt… That I have thrashed the crap out of my boss’ piece of shit of a body.
Now, we could write a short story on some guy who believes is dreaming, yet isn’t, and ends up serviting penal for life due to some… Misunderstanding.
I would truly love to see you people’s creations on these entrie’s comment sections.
