How to Open an Image

Dreams are composed of images… images are the language of our experiencing. Part of opening dreams is to open the images – how they move us, what emotions, analogies, memories, feelings they produce. We can practice this – and have fun with it ! – by opening paintings, photographs and other images we encounter in our waking life. You do it like a dream.

So for this image, as I dream it, I’m going somewhere fun! There is so much movement here and the bright yellow and rose colors lift me up – it’s an adventure, as even ‘following the yellow-brick road’. And the speckled belly of the dog echo the dots of the ‘road’ – dots are bright, they pop like bubbles, effervescent. I can almost hear the panting. And there is a
sweetness to it – the soft texture of the belly, and the yellow and rose colors, evoke softness, gentleness, something I want to caress and dive into. So … a soft and sweet adventure. This is how I dream this image.
