It stemmed from the Dada movement, which was an…

Salvador Dali finished The Persistence of Memory in 1931at Port Lligat, north of Barcelona, Spain and housed in the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1934. This painting was a symbol of Dali’s work and defined surrealism, breaking many of the norms previous and unique in its own way.

do a quick search on Google for Dreams, you will get over 7 million results including the definition of dreams which is “successions of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that occur usually involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep” (“Dream” Wikipedia.

Dale M. Kushner’s Understand Your Dreams by Using Jung’s “Active Imagination” takes on C.G. Jung’s ideas about the latent content of dreams to develop the thesis that states, what is hidden from our minds in the day-world becomes manifest in living color in our dreams (Para. 1).
