Glynn Vivian Art Gallery, Swansea, 15th July 2017.

We were invited to hold 5 DreamsID sessions and give a talk on the science and art of dreaming across the day. 
The five drawn interpretations of dreams and the dream narratives are pictured below.

Where is My Home dream

Picture
"I am walking up a street in the evening. I walk past street lights running down the street and come to stop beside a red door. My daughter is beside me with her boyfriend and I realise this is her new home. She can enter the house through the door with her boyfriend and they step over the threshold. I stand outside the house and turn away thinking 'where is my home?' "

We were asked to contribute to the current exhibition at the Glynn Vivian exhibition, IN A DREAM YOU SAW A WAY TO SURVIVE AND YOU WERE FULL OF JOY, curated by Elizabeth Price.  
For this performance we used the library at the Glynn Vivian. Participants were asked to book a 30 minute session prior to the event and to write down the dream before the session. All dreams are shown below.

Flying dream. Upper image shows a woman flying (self-focussed). Lower image shows a landscape and a map (external perspective). Two perspectives simultaneously given in the dream.
Flying dream. Image shows a woman flying in a 'while', 'gossamer', 'bell-shaped' dress. I used a block of text in Freud's book to show the dreamers concentrated self-perspective.
Flying dream. Image shows a landscape with trees and houses at the bottom with a map of the town above. I used the footnote in Freud's book to show the different aspects of the dreamer's perspective.

Later we moved to scanning the pages and presenting the dream sharer with an enlarged Giclee print, mounted in coloured mounting board with text of the dream underneath the painting. 

Creatures of the Night, British Science Festival, Swansea, 6th - 9th September 2016.

This was our first event and was part of the British Science Festival (6th - 9th September, 2016), on this occasion held in Swansea. We were housed in 'Plantasia' a glass building constructed to house a selection of small tropical plants, animals and reptiles. Unbeknown to us, this also included a vast number of cockroaches, which as the sun went down on this balmy autumnal night, crawled all over everyone who dared to step inside. It set an interesting backdrop for dreamers to talk about their dreams. Dreamers had their ideas and words discussed and then interpreted by Professor Mark Blagrove (Interpreter of Dreams - Psychologist) and drawn by Dr Julia Lockheart (Interpreter of Dreams - Designer and Artist). Julia drew her visual interpretations of the dreams instantaneously into Freud's book, The Interpretation of Dreams (1900). In the first few moments of the telling Julia chose the pages on which to make the drawing according to key words and phrases mirrored in Freud's text. Words and shapes became apparent from a swift surveying of each page. The event was performative as the drawings were captured on a document viewer which was screened behind Julia's head. A large crowd gathered to see and hear the dreams being interpreted. Images of the event can be seen below.
