TC: Birth Dreams makes me look and
ask what are you (each individual)
dreaming about when you are in the womb ?
Andres: What goes through my mind
is the thought, the concept that has
been discussed by some: if we are
actually a dream of some one or some thing else ? Is Life itself a dream ???
At one point we wake up and discover
that we've been dreaming all the time ?
TC: You talk about that thing I toss
around with our audience on occasion. How would you know -- we're sitting here right now -- how would you know if this was a dream ? Well, we've all been there. Anyone who has any time under their belt. Even a 12 year old has been there ... where you get into your sleeping -- and you're in there -- and you know it is a dream world -- and you are engulfed there. Sometimes you can have the point of view -- you are in the dream and you know it is a dream, but it is so real that you run with it and you've just got to wait until you wake up. Then there are those dreams where you are in the dream and it is so real ... you don't know it is a dream.
Andres: Right.
|
TC: You're in that real world.
Then all of a sudden you wake up, you're rattled by something in the dream or whatever, then you realize ... oh it was only a dream. Andres: But then again it could be, for that moment, that was a reality.
TC: There is a point there. Until
you wake up you won't ever know.
Andres: You know what is
interesting Richard is dreaming of dreaming. I find that to be fascinating. Because when you have a dream and in that dream you dream that you are actually dreaming, at what point (at what state in reality) are you now ? You are not awake as we are here but you're in the dream knowing you are dreaming. |
TC: You know -- like a story.
There's always 3 parts ... a
beginning, a middle, and an end.
This is like the middle and there
are the other 2 parts. Where you come from. Where you are going.
Andres: As we go through Life
as soon as we arrive we know
that we are already in that train station. And at that train station we know we are already on our way back. Funny thing. When we arrive we realize: we have been traveling already -- the Journey. I like to make myself think. I look at an image and ask, "Am I saying something here that will have any value ?"
I don't know. But the thing is
that you do something creative because by creating something you feel you are a part of the whole cosmos, this whole Universe. And you have to identify yourself with it. That is what an Artist does. Become part of the reality that is out there. But it is also internalized.
TC: Exactly, it is both.
