Threads into my Subconscious (2011)

Threads Into My Subconscious is about understanding the vivid dream state and discovering new meaning of dreams. For over a year, I have been recording my vivid dreams and attempting to analyze them. This is a very interesting subject matter because my dreams are becoming more and more vivid particularly in the morning. I remember colours, emotions, physical motions such as shaking, people’s facial expressions, what they are wearing, what it is like outside, etc.
