Hi Anuja! Remembering dreams is hard! They seem to slip away as you start to wake up. But sometimes I have really vivid dreams, and last night I had a variation of a dream that I often have.
I was walking home and these two men told me to come with them, but they looked scary and I told them no. I was near my door now and they were walking towards me instead of going away like I hoped. I ran inside and tried to lock the door, but all that was there was a screen door. The men broke the door handle off and came inside. My friend was in the house (I dont remember who that person was, whether it was a friend or family member, but I remember knowing them). But my friend did nothing they didn't call the police or try to help me in anyway they just sat there. I tried to run in the other room to call the police but my fingers couldn't dile the 911 correctly. I finally got through but they men heard me talking since the operator couldn't hear my whispers, they took my phone before I could give an address. I tried to hit and punch them but every time my strength failed and nothing happened. It was as I was so weak my punch was just pat, no matter how hard I tried I couldn't punch them or hurt them. It was so frustrating and terrifying.
Another dream:
I was driving at night on long dark roads. And then my breaks on my car went out and I couldn't slow down. Then my headlights went out and I couldn't see where I was going, so I jumped out of the car (or it crashed i dont remember, but i got out) and started running and I could hear whispering like there were people just behind me if I looked back.
A different dream:
In this dream I was a child again, I was talking to my mom but this woman looked nothing like my mom in real life, so that was strange. Then we were driving in her old yellow car, I was sitting in the backseat still talking to her. Then she stopped replying, and no one was in the front seat. Then the car was falling off of a cliff, but I was saved by a great white light.
Also, most of my dreams are harder to describe because they are mostly just a blur and mix of ideas, memories and people but have no structure or form that I can remember. That is what I am basing my photographs on.
What are some of your dreams that you were thinking of using for the project?
I thought I would use your faded memories for the components of the maze, as deconstructed or under-constructed objects. Since you had a dream of losing someone, I would also make a quashing sort of a person. So the fading memories would be your part and mine would be the time-travelling part. So I'm posting the dream :))
