A dream is images, thoughts, and feelings that an individual experiences during sleep. Sometimes these can be good things, or they can be bad things. Dreams aren't necessarily exact memories but more of a combination of several thoughts or memories all combined into one. In my project I put emphasis on the bad things that happen in dreams. These are called 'Nightmares'.
The images found in my project are a look into something that I would consider a nightmare. It is also composed of things that I see or have seen in my life, or that I have experienced that have left an imprint on me. In this sequence of images I look at things in my past and present that bother me in some way. Almost every object in the images has some sort of negative memory attached to it. With everything combined, a nightmare is born.
I achieved this piece by taking photos that would make up a 'Journey' into my bedroom, and between two books in which I would find the bulk of my nightmare. The object between the two books is a photo montage of things that represent something bad, or a specific memory. I combined both the still images and the photo montage images into an animation that would represent the nightmare. There are black spaces in between each photo to show how things are lost in a dream, and that the whole picture is never shown.
What I want the viewer to get out of this is that dreams are not just random thoughts or things of the imagination, but have a lot to do with things that are in their every day life. I wanted to show that everything we do in our day to day may affect or create our dreams or nightmares. I also wanted to emphasis the point that dreams are something that we forget, but are often times important. Dreaming in my opinion can help heal, or remember things that we either need to get over, or want to remember in some way.

These are my contact sheets of the photos that I used or thought of using for my project.
