Waking up in the dream

At the moment we are living in a time that will display the very best and the very worst in humans with a widening gap between the two aspects in all levels of society as we become increasingly polarized in groups according to our conduct and choices in Life.

It is a process of separation between the asleep person from the awake.
Yes, a trend is emerging - questions arises during dreams and about dreams...
What are we exploring really?
People recounting their lucid dream experiences (or "out of body" experiences) all that which lead us to question the "awaken state" ; what we call "reality" and then you suddenly start to look at dream in another way - because in a way "reality" is very similar to dreaming - but slower.

Deeper Dream

A mind shift starts to happen when you then think that dreaming is just another reality - then it hits you like a ton of brick : what we call "Reality" is just a "deeper dream" - then you can see paradoxes, there are meaning - but in dreams some interesting things are taking for granted : Telepathy is there, you can fly, you can teleport, anything pretty much appears the moment you want it. Have you ever noticed, how many things that we are trying to recreates in this dimension we call "reality" are these abilities we have inherently have in dreams - devices to help us fly, to communicate remotely, to travel fast...


The dream is in you

That's the funny part - the dream is in you and that means everybody you interact with  in the dream - even you...
Because the main similarity between these dimensions is that you still have "Consciousness" - even though you might not look the same way (or even have the same name).
Dreams are the safest thing you can experience, (i.e : what's the worst that can happen really? ... waking up ... end of the list).  

And then you realize that you have been asleep while awake and while dreaming. Because becoming lucid you understand fundamentally that you're creating your own reality.


The bottom line is : it will always be your own experience.

Jessica Serran


Jessica Serran is a Canadian artist, fascinated by the unseen, the unheard and the unspoken - and she is currently having an Art exhibition at the Bĕhal Fejér Institute (651/8 Pevnostni Praha 6 - near Dejvická metro station)

Jessica is looking into the Czech psyche through 10 paintings that are a visual maps of conversations she had with Czech people. She defines herself as a "Psycho-cartographer". More or less like Andrew Park from the "RSA Animate project".

It certainly is interesting to see through these paintings, how Jessica perceives cultural differences, and trace patterns, and behavior that are in a way typical for the Czech. I don't think there was a Golem though.


The initial opening was 23.5.2013 but there will be other date : 6, 9, 10, 13 , 22 and 23 in June.
