Dream unravels the layered logic of the unconscious, offering a symbolic topography shaped by instinct, memory, and fantasy. At its center, a mountain pierces upward, not with the permanence of earth but with the mutability of thought. Above it, serpentine shapes, symbolic birds, and exaggerated features rise like projections of inner fears and desires. Red and green spheres hover in tension, echoing the emotional binaries we wrestle with beneath awareness.
Drawing from Freud’s theory of latent content in dreams, the forms in Dream are not literal but deeply encoded. The snakes may whisper of transformation or fear. The roosters, of awakening or alarm. The exaggerated heads and limbs float freely, unconstrained by physics, bound instead by meaning. Every element acts as a cipher for internal contradiction, reflecting the tension between what we choose to reveal and what we conceal, between the urge to rise and the instinct to withdraw.
