| Dreams of Flying or Sleep Paralysis |
This artwork was created by Grie in April 2008, so it is more recent. He explains this piece by saying that "Most of our dreams are well-forgotten by the time we are completely awake with an exception of, perhaps, dreams of flying. Flying dreams have always been provoking a certain amount of curiosity within the scientific community because of their elusive nature and mixed interpretations. Some flying dreams are believed to be an indication of ongoing physical growth, while others may be taken as a first step in lucid dreaming - a state in which a person can be simultaneously dreaming and directing the dream. Lucid dreaming is one of the famous esoteric practices described by Carlos Castaneda in “The Art of Dreaming”. Flying can also be a part of a manifest dream of your superiority over someone or something, especially if you’re freely manipulating your limbs at a high altitude. But as in real life, there’s no guarantee that you won’t lose altitude or stumble upon an obstacle in your dream."
His works inspire a Dark aspect or reality and twists it to become something beautiful.
