38: Making Dreams [28.3.12]

'Psychological theories are based on the idea that dreaming allows us to sort through problems, events of the day or things that are requiring a lot of our attention.'

I've noticed that my dreams include various things I've seen or been thinking about during the day, based on this I've created dream-like images. I went out for the day with my medium format camera and took photos of various this I'd seen, the pictures aren't supposed to be brilliant and perfectly composed, just snap shots of things to represent memories though out my day.

To make these photos interpret dreams I've overlapped the negatives in the enlarger in various different combinations and rotations to create these surreal photos. The idea was to make unclear images based on what were perfectly clear photos to represent dreams. This is one of my favourites from the ones I made yesterday:

I really like this method of creating images and the outcomes it's lead to! Would like to create more images like this with better negatives.
