Incógnitas de sueños: Un mundo imaginario/onírico

Abstract

The project Incógnitas de sueños delves into the phenomenon of lucid dreams, those moments during the REM phase when the dreamer becomes aware of dreaming and, in some cases, gains control over the dream's events. Based on personal experiences and a profound interest in the dream world, the artist uses visual arts as a medium to connect individuals with this phenomenon, aiming to spark curiosity and encourage reflection on the psychological and symbolic value of dreams. Art serves as a bridge between the personal and the collective, expressing lucid dreams through mediums such as drawing, painting, performance, and audiovisual installations. The proposal includes interactive elements that emulate the dream experience, allowing the audience to immerse themselves in the emotions and narratives of lucid dreams. The project also emphasizes the therapeutic and educational potential of lucid dreaming, inspired by scholars such as LaBerge, Dresler, and Sackwild, who highlight its usefulness for self-awareness and mental health. The main objective is to communicate how lucid dreams transcend personal experiences, offering a space for introspection and emotional healing. By inviting viewers to experience and reinterpret these phenomena, the work fosters a broader dialogue on the significance of dreams in shaping our cultural and emotional narratives.
