The Dream Factory — Outland Publishing Fair

In the book The Origin of Chinese Characters, dreams are explained as "unclear," referring to images that are distant from our daily lives. We dream almost every night, even though we often don't remember them. In psychoanalysis, dreams hold a significant position. During the day, we may wear social masks, suppressing many emotions and thoughts. However, in dreams, we might lower our defence mechanisms, allowing our consciousness to roam freely and our truest desires to flow. Surrealist artists were also inspired by dreams, creating a "space between waking and dreaming" to access their subconscious through this process.

We might also dream collectively. As an extension of surrealist art, ‘dreamcore’ combines dreams, memory, daydreams and nightmares to create a new form of aesthetics.

《说文解字》中把梦解释为“不明也”，是与我们生活有距离的景象。我们几乎每晚都会做梦，即使很多时候我们不记得了。在精神分析中，“梦”有着很重要的地位。在白天，我们可能会戴着社会面具行动，压抑许多情感和思绪。但在梦中，我们或许会卸下防御和武装，让自己的意识自由驰骋，让更加真实的欲望流动起来。超现实主义艺术家也受到了梦境的启发，在“半梦半醒之间”进行创作，试图通过这个方法来进入自己的潜意识。我们也会做集体的梦。“梦核(dreamcore)” 作为超现实主义艺术的一种延续，通过融合梦境、回忆、白日梦和梦魇制造出了一种新式美学。
