I've been researching dream art today.

I'm actually doing it for my art history class. I have to write a research paper on a topic relating to Renaissance or modern art. I chose, of course, to write about dream-inspired art.

It's kind of difficult to come up with references, but I'm trying. So far, I've found an article on Wikipedia, a few artists as examples, and an art show page on the IASD (International Association for the Study of Dreams) website. Now I need to look in actual books...and I have a feeling that I'll have a hell of a time. Anyway...

While I was looking at the Wikipedia page, I saw something I thought was cool. There was a link to another dream blog on which the blogger had posted drawings he had done based on his dreams. This gave me the idea that maybe I should do that with my dreams.

I want to see if I can find more sites like these. It would give me not only good examples for my paper, but also inspiration for creating my own art. I had always considered doing dream art, but I could never really make the desire into reality. This might be the chance.
