Eighteenth International Conference on the Arts in Society

Abstract

This study documents my dreams for two months, with the goal of uncovering how dreams are stored in my brain and gaining insight into the unconscious processes that leads to their creation. In exploring the relationship between dreams and art, I seek to understand the creative potential of dream-inspired art. I create art inspired by my dreams using Adobe Photoshop and Dall-E, an artificial intelligence tool. By comparing the aesthetic qualities of my digital art with that generated by Dall-E, I hope to gain insights into the potential for AI in the creative process. The study’s initial findings suggest that my dreams may offer unique insights into the nature of the unconscious mind, and that dream-inspired art has the potential to be both deeply personal and universal. This study has broader implications for our understanding of the creative process, the role of the unconscious in art, and the relationship between humans and AI. Future research could further explore the potential for dream-inspired art and the role of AI in the creative process.
