Observing Transitions in a Subconscious Product of My Own Reality

I've been basing my work off of creating messes, and the psychoanalytical importance of childhood latent inhibition. Unfortunately I cannot post the video of my conscious creation of this space which is an integral part of this underlying premise, however I can at least show you a sample of the overlying premise.

The main sequence of 4 photographs illustrates my beliefs concerning the explanation of the sequencing and transitions in dreams. It is in this blatant disregard for outside stimuli or research off which I base this work to correlate directly into conscious explanations of our physical world are often explaned through imaginative practice or the need to explain. In this search for a truth that is true to my own person I am further understanding the my world uniquely through my own eyes, which then connects to the idea that dreams are a product of our own receptivity in our waking life. Dreams are sequences of absorbed stimuli which are product of our own waking reality. Therein, dreams are the cycling of all stimuli we have experienced or thought about consciously or subconsciously throughout the day. The dreams you remember are the ones in which your 5th stage of sleep is disturbed, this is the state in which you enter R.E.M. If you are brought out of that state (this doesn’t always mean fully awake), then it is my contention that the narrative dream that you remember is the minds way of constructing an understandable link among all of the thoughts that were cycling at that time. The awkward transitions in dreams are a product of disconnected ideas being forced together into an understandable narrative. It is in this sequence of 4 photographs that I centralize the idea of a particular transition in symbols and narrative style (i.e. the transition of a mood in a dream), which is all a product of a performance piece which I did in the room prior, symbolizing my waking actions producing subconscious cycles of thought. The performance created the installation which was the foundation for the "thoughts" to cycle.
