blends images from his dreams with his own poetry, as in this piece called
"The Dreamers ". As he says: "I get ideas for my paintings from lucid dreams.
About once a month when I'm dreaming, I will realize I'm dreaming, and when
I do, I then walk around in the dream looking at art on the walls. I usually
find many paintings on every wall. By the time one of these lucid dreams ends,
I usually have one or two good paintings memorized. I always recreate them
in pastel on 12 by 18 inch paper. I've been doing this as a hobby since 1986.
You can view about one third of my collection at my personal homepage" at

Brenda Ferrimani is a painter of dreams. Her dream paintings have been seen onthe cover of Dreamtime and Dream Network magazines, and the Rocky Mountain Dream Journal. Her work has been featured at the International Conference on the Fantastic in the Arts and ASD's Dream Oddyssey Art Exhibition in 2001.
Dream Ikons is the work of two artists, Scherer and Ouporov, who utilize
the inspiration of dream images to create gilded icons. "The image of
the dreamer is in the center, while the surrounding, illuminated area represents
the dream itself. In the tradition of medieval manuscript illumination, the
center is a fixed, rational image and the borders represent the irrational
side of the imagination--in this case, the unconscious realm of our amorphous
dreams, desires or nightmares. Whereas in medieval painting, the gold traditionally
symbolizes the union with God, in Dream Ikons it is the unconscious state
of sleep. In many cultures, dreams are believed to be a direct channel to
the spirit world, therefore the gold can also represent this connection.".

states that "Dream
s
have guided me thoughout my life and are often the source of my art work.
Through art and writing I explore my inner world and bring its dream enerby
and wisdom into my everyday life. I have a "mix and match" approach to media,
and use acrylics in various ways, as well as transparent and opaque water
color, monotype, charcoal, brush and ink and other drawing tools, fabric photograph
and collage". Her website features her images and dreams. http://www.dreamgate.com/dream/goldring/

are two "outsider" artists whose artwork is created from their dreams
or visions. .Your comments would be welcomed by each of them. They are both
self-taught and find art a comfortable and important means to express what
they have captured during sleep and subconscious thought. Check out their

In the words of the artist: "I have kept a dream journal since 1987.
Within the context of what I call "everyday" dreams, I am visited
by the creatures you see in these paintings. Most are birds. But animals,
insects, humans and objects also make their appearance in amazingly colorful
circumstances and scenarios. Once I choose an image to work with, it begins
another life. It is important that they look real, as if you might walk outside
and see a pink and turquoise grosbeak. I call this process dreaming the dream
onwards. As I give the images form through my painting, they often surprise
me with a message or meaning beyond what was revealed by the dream."
