Thread: Sketchings

I remember drawing maps and diagrams in my dream journal long time ago. I dont do it anymore.
My dreams are too complex now...

Edit: I almost forgot - once I drew a mystical creature which was revealed to me while high... It was like an elephant with multiple trunks and each trunk was a tunnel... And it feed on careless tripping people...

I used to try to produce sketchings and paintings of some inspirational dream frames..I try to freeze a still frame of the subject i want to reproduce...I find this very difficult to concentrate on..I came up with some very interesting art to say the least.

I doodle some stuff sometimes...but that's it.

I do sometimes. Dreams tend to inspire my writing and artwork quite a bit.

lol, i was waiting for you to reply 'A Lost Soul'

Well, as drawing is concerned, i suck. but i might try it if i see some interesting landscapes that blow me away.

I don't bother. Because I'm useless at drawing. It would be really useful if there was some kind of machine that would record your dreams for you onto video or something. A bit like the ones they sometimes have in cartoons.

But by then people would be able to read your thoughts, in waking life. and that would be a severe invasion of personal life. and i would hate that.

I did wonder that as I posted, but then you'd just have to be careful.

But never mind- the benefits would pretty much outweigh the fact that your mother discovers you've dreamt about a giant flying peice of ham shaped like her. (It could be alot worse, obviously).

Or just make the machine have a password on it to let you get to the tape? Perhaps? Like a "DREAM PLAYER", where the password is burnt onto the dream video, and you need the password to access it.

Dont get me wrong, a machine like that would be cool, but it would have several downsides...the biggest one-Invasion of privacy...i just wouldn't want people reading my thoughts, or i WOULD NOT want to read other people's thoughts, first of all there are some sick people out there.

And humanity lives off of relationships, and how would relationships develop and flourish if you KNEW what other people were thinking?

To resist is to piss in the wind.
Anyone who does will end up smelling.
Knowing this, why do I defy? Because my inner voice is yelling.

that would be scary.

Well, some peoples dreams are severely screwed up...eh, shadow? *froggy style*

Yes I feel emphatic about not being static, and not buying philosophies that are sold to me, at a steal.[/b]

I drew a picture of something I saw in one of my dreams, I'll try to scan it and put it on here.

I wish I could draw But unfortunately I have no talent at it.

Will, I'd like to see your drawings!

Sorry Seeker, I only have one drawing, but I'm starting to work on more. I should have the picture on here by tonight, tomorrow at lastest.

I do moustly because it helps get it out of my head. not complaining but I get in trouble because of sketching in class:like art (where its kinda ok) but can you beleave my english,math and french teachers are getten mad. can you beleave that.....

i don't draw my dreams, i think it would take longer than just describing a little of it and having my memory do the rest. my dreams do however inspire some of my art.

mad french teacher...you better watch out man.

you could DRAW her SRATTLING the EEIFEL tower...

Getting these pictures on herer my take longer than I thought. I'm having a little trouble getting a web page up and putting the pictures on it. My computer is just like me in the sence that it dosen't like to work hard.

I always write down my dreams and then later when i get bored, i read over my dream journal, appreciate how insane i am and then pick something out that sounds like it would look cool. I have a sketch of a big worm thing. The thing looked really cool in the flesh, y'know moving and roaring and stuff... i should post that dream....

Thats an old drawing. But dreams make for interesting artworks.

I've never tried, but I might try that if my dreams are simple enough

ive found that drawing dreams can give shape to things , and help remember little things that i'd probribly end up forgeting. sry bout the late reply

i tried to draw one of mine like a week ago but i didn't rember a bunch of the specifics of things to like draw them down to resemble much.

Yeah i draw mine sometimes. But as a few people've said, it's not worth it if you start drawing as soon as you wake up, spend a while working on it, then forget alot of the dream. But i find it is worth it if you write out all you can first, then when you're squeezed dry of words, sketch out some of the more interesting images of the dream. Looking back over the journal in the future, i'm sure it'd add another layer of vividness to the memory of that dream.

ya ... thanks for that idea .. ill need to try it sometime ...
unfortunatly most of my dreams lately have all been random and have had no shape or any real subject ..lol kinda like a puzle for my mind lol
