Surrealism in our lives



Surreal is weirdly unfamiliar, distorted, or disturbing, like the experiences in a dream. As usually found as artistic and or brilliant ways to express one's creativity or view on this world. For this world is vast and magnificent and the intricate designs on many objects or persons for form one physical and celestial being. We can only see this though if we look into ourselves and find the importance and significance of this one particular object that will become another or a piece to something much greater or larger. Look at say for example a tree, some would say that the tree formed from a seed some few months ago, they would describe the species of the tree and say something interesting about its type. Others would look at the tree and claim it is a creation of God, and he made that tree grow from the seed, they would be marveled at the patterns on the leaves and the texture of the bark. A surrealist would look at the tree and explain that the tree is a complex form that has taken on this specific shape to define its natural ways. They would also comment on ways the tree would look in winter, or fall, or they would ask questions and ponder things like "Why is this tree here?" "Why do you think the branches on this particular tree face that way?" Surrealistic views take the simplest of things and move them on to the next level of philosophical thinking.

Sigmund Freud once said, "Dreams are often most profound when they seem the most crazy." when we have dreams they often are considered psychobabble, and people tend to ignore them. I am asking you, don't. Please, dreams are a precious thing and a dream is your mind explaining to you the true patterns of the world in mixed messages. A dream can be like an exact recording of your day but in a more eerie way. Because to be honest, eeriness is what defines the creativity in humans. We are generally afraid or creeped out by such nonsense that is why most people would stay away. But a daring, creative and surreal mind would go after your brains mixed messages and follow them into the abyss of supernatural and magical form. Surreality, is what defines the philosophical mind as unique from the normal mind. It can show you ways to observe and study things you never thought imaginable. Clear your mind, stare into surreality and accept it as your own.
