Sawlogs.net - Dream Comics Online

[Rick Smith]

Sawlogs.net is up and running (http://www.sawlogs.net) - dreams in
comic strip format.

I have kept a dream journal on and off for the last thirteen years.
The urge to record on paper what transpired during the night (and
early morning) would strike me periodically and I would take up pen
and paper in the morning - detailing events, characters and emotions.
The more entries I recorded, the more dreams I would remember. Each
entry would become more detailed as well - almost as if my memory was
getting stronger with each entry.

Sawlogs is an effort to capture these dream journal entries in the
form of comics. I will randomly illustrate each dream in my journal in
a 12 panel grid. I will be publishing the dream comics at Sawlogs.net
periodically. The original journal entry will accompany the comic.

Tom Hart ('Hutch Owen') once remarked that dream comics are 'somewhere
between gratuitous, unprocessed and fascinating.' I hope Sawlogs
leaves you with similar feelings.

Thanks for taking a look.

Analysis is only needed if dreams are a problem. It is fair to ask
about dreams when told about them. That's the beginning of analysis,
with all due respect to Katherine West.

I have studied art and dreams. I can tell the difference between
creative self expression and therapeutic expression, for example, why
Vincent van Gogh is a great artist (albeit mad) and why the pictures
made by mental hospital patients are mere messages from the
subconscious.
Keep up the good work.

I love it. It's a text book case -of art.

See Salvador Dali, Metamorphosis of Narcissus, Date: 1937

"This painting shows the full development of the Dali surrealist
style. Like The Persistence of Memory, this work also includes
references to death and decay, from the emaciated dog chewing on blood
to the ants crawling over the petrified hand."

www.usc.edu/schools/annenberg/asc/projects/comm544/library/images/742.html

"The ants which are in many of Dali's works are there because when he
was young he had a pet and one day he found it dead with ants all over
it. This disturbed him greatly and the ants became part of his surreal
paintings."
