“Men have attempted to interpret dreams, and even to guide them, but never yet have men attempted to use sleep to guide and to control artistic creation which is to be executed in a waking state.”- Salvador Dalí Did you know that as a student, Dalí was fascinated by the writings of Sigmund Freud, founder of psychoanalysis? According to Freud, dreams were a symbolic language of sorts and were the key to unlocking matters of the mind. Dalí would later depict Freud’s theories on dreams in his artwork.
