Comment on How do you tell the difference between dream and reality?

Almost invariably, you show them a piece, they ask “what is it?”, “what does it mean?”.
(Sometimes they even want an explanatory essay pinned to the wall next to the frame)
Because the meaning, the dream-manifestation, is more important to them than the actual sensation.
For most of us, dreams are realer than reality.

I'm going to be thinking over that for a while.
Back home I used to go to the annual exhibition of the top high school art students. The explanations were often long-winded, pretentious, not always super coherent. Fair enough I was too in high school. But there was one I loved. It was a very industrial looking metal sculpture of fish skeleton made of rusty engine parts, all teeth and gears. Maybe 3'x3'. The explanation was: "A fish. A big fish. A big scary fish with a motor!"
