SelfEvaluation> First question, What is your work about? > Can someone tell me if this sounds okay?
My work investigated the nature of dreaming and all aspects that surround it, from its different variations e.g. Nightmares, lucid dreaming, day dreaming etc. to the influences and nostalgia it may or may not provoke on your day-to-day real life.
As well as this, I focused on the perception of color through identifying that the responses from the viewers are subjective and no opinion is ever really the same as another’s. I also noticed that color is completely dependent on light, which made me wonder if the color one person sees is the same as what someone else sees, if the different variations of light change the colors appearance, and if color really exists at all. From that last statement (if color really exists), made me take out some scientific research. Science is not really being my forte, which made things really difficult to understand. From what my mind could comprehend, I learnt that our eyes contain a specific cell that allows us to see color, and if that cell is altered, or even removed, the color in front of us would not exist. Still in keeping with my scientific approaches to my work I ended my research with two hypothesizes. These are:
1. The color we see will never look the same to someone else
2. The color we see does not really exist
The second hypothesis is more of a follow on from the first. What I am trying to state in the simplest way put is, color is purely a figure of our minds emotional connection from an understanding we attached it to in the past, therefore color, as a whole, is rooted in memory, and is not physically there.
Dreaming is sort of the same, rooted in memory wise. It takes on a huge importance to our well being. Through dreaming we can act out our deepest fantasies with no disturbance or the inclination of authority telling you its wrong. As well as this, dreaming almost maximizes your emotional state (my dreams do anyway, I couldn’t know this for sure), which could possibly affect you in the ‘real’ world.
This is the link I found between dreams and color, that no matter what way you look at it, they are both completely memory rooted. They provoke a response, and our basic understandings between the two are completely varied. This to me contains part of the reason why individuals are individuals (mind, body, soul etc.), why we all think differently, and can never see things the same as the other.
