How to solve a problem (method used by Salvador Dali)

[Traveller13]

N: I haven't tested this yet. If you do or have done, I'm interested in knowing how it went.


To solve a problem (that seems complicated to you), you'll need
*an comfortable armchair with big armrests
*a spoon
*a soup plate

the method: sit in the armchair holding the plate and spoon. put the plate beside you upside down on the floor. hold the spoon above the plate, and go to sleep while thinking about the problem you want to solve.
at one point you'll let go of the spoon. It'll fall on the plate, wake you up, and you'll have a solution to your problem.

traveller,

This theme is reiterated in Dali's work. Do you remember the crutches in some of his paintings? He describes them as dream crutches. Our dreams are delicately balanced on these crutches. The slightest disturbance will knock the crutch out from under the dream.

When I am falling asleep, I can feel these crutches. Any noise or movement will cause me to jerk physically as if the crutch that my dreams are suspended upon has been kicked out.

am I making sense? Who cares, it's surrealism.

I'll have to try this in the near future.

I love Dali. The first shirt I stencilled was his face (and moustaches).
