Dreams represent unconscious desires. During dreams, signals from the brain and body are interpreted. They consolidate and process information gathered during the daytime. They reflect the unconscious function in a psychoanalytic way. Dreams are a state of consciousness in the absence of sleep that occurs instantaneously. Images and sounds that are imprinted in the subconscious, return to our memory through the dream. A journey through space and time. From the inaction of the body to the action of the mind. Action of the present - elaboration of the past - preparation for the future. The recordings took place in an industrial building’s basement at Valaoritou str., Thessaloniki, January 2022.
