The Lake of Dreams......




" Lead me to the Lake of dreams............"

Dreams from time immemorial has been an integral part of our" existence "as well as could be the gateway for defining our "existence"...........
*******************************************************
"Dreams"......well what is dream.....?????

-----according to Wikipedia meaning....:
A dream is the experience of envisioned images, sounds, or other sensations during sleep. It occurs in humans, most mammals, and some birds. [1] The events of dreams are often impossible or unlikely to occur in physical reality, and are usually outside the control of the dreamer. The exception is lucid dreaming, in which dreamers realize that they are dreaming, and are sometimes capable of changing their oneiric reality and controlling various aspects of the dream, in which the suspension of disbelief is often broken.[2] Dreamers may experience strong emotions while dreaming. Frightening or upsetting dreams are referred to as nightmares.

"Excerpts from the symbolism of lake of dreams...."

ESSAY : What is the symbolic meaning of lakes in dreams?

Sometimes its best to start off at the basics. Land in dreams features the facts and realities of our life. Lakes are made up of water which symbolizes the feelings within us which (like water)constantly move and flow. So lakes then may represent some issue which you have a little intuitive feeling about.

what they say about dreams....
"

Viennese Psychiatrist Sigmund Freud first developed the theory about the role of the unconscious on the individual.

Freud believed the dream worked on two levels. A straightforward level showed events in dreams as remembered. However in the latent level objects and actions in the dreams symbolize sexual and aggressive feelings and ideas that are repressed.

So in dreams it protects the sleeper from the effects of a realization of these wishes. The dream taps into the desire for wish fulfillment when the controlling ego is relaxed during sleep.

Freud wrote "All dreams are in a sense dreams of convenience, they help to prolong sleep instead of waking up. Dreams are the guardians of sleep and not its disturbers."

"

Carl Jung believed a dreams content uses symbolic language. He proposed that a dream expresses collective racial unconscious memories and instincts shared by all people.

These are basic ideas that are themselves symbols. These include the hero, monster, mother, father, mandala, sacrifice and the mask.

Dreams also indicate the way to self actualization. Jungian therapy in fact deals extensively with dreams and fantasies."

Dreams of a lonely wall......




"
There was this wall.....all alone.....nobody to talk to him.....lonely...abandoned.....away from the glitz of life.....but it never got bored with its Life.......why?????

Well as it started to paint on its own......

Dreams to be precise......yes "Dreams of a lonely Wall"
when the painting was done........
Well it was no more lonely........:)
"
Well guys this Graffiti is dedicated to "Banksy"(as he is known to the world).....the underground British Graffiti artist.....a new wave in the Graffiti world...who created a tremor for his Art .....and his thoughts and graffiti .......and Life as a whole.......
I didn't know about this great artist until another wonderful artist Phebes told me about the existence of banksy........
Few interesting Banksy quotes.......
"If you don't own a train company then you go and paint on one instead. It all comes from that thing at school when you had to have name tags in the back of something.. that makes it belong to you. You can own half the city by scribbling your name over it."
"I like to think I have the guts to stand up anonymously in a western democracy and call for things no-one else believes in - like peace and justice and freedom."
"There are no exceptions to the rule that everyone thinks they're an exception to the rules "

"When the time comes to leave, just walk away quietly and don't make any fuss"

"You can win the rat race but you're still a rat"

"Old man: You paint the wall, you make it look beautiful
Banksy: ThanksOld man We don't want it to be beautiful, we hate this wall, go home

A lot of mothers will do anything for their children, except let them be themselves."

"people who enjoy waving flags don't deserve to have one."
***************************************************************
As Phebes says the wall represents one's own true self.............in this case mine....:D
I would like u guys to get ur views on how ur wall would look like....and Dream like....
