There has always been a very fine line between fact and fantasy. That very same line also exists between reality and surreality. Each and every one of us has had their own different beliefs when it comes to defining reality. You would choose to live where everything makes perfect sense when I would choose to be boundless and infinite in the lands of the deranged where the grass is blue and the sky is green. You would think I am being absurd and I would pity your lack of divine dementia.You would call this whole world real when I would rather call it surreal.
I believe that the pure concept of surreality softly portrays both the disorientation and the hallucinatory qualities of dreams; peculiarity; eccentricity. The problem is that most of us have not yet come to the prominent realisation that surreality could be graciously translated -one might say "rendered"- into a greatly stimulating emotion. We are all consumed by the vividness of a surrounding landscape or in the acquaintance of a newly discovered old soul to the point where we unintentionally neglect expressing the vital sensation that is, in fact, surreality.
The dream like state of surrealism is probably it's strongest connection to art. Ultimately, art is the place where one's surrealistic self meets one's altruistic self. "The Son of Man" has taught me that dreams are always subtle, yet simultaneously enigmatic. A self portrait by René Magritte, solely displaying a man with a green apple covering up the features of his face. A plain example of how curiosity can and will always strike you. Why would Magritte want his face to be obscured by a hovering green apple? I believe it is because there is an interest in that which is hidden and which the visible does not show us.
In the end, it all lies within how one person's imagination could lead them to strongly believe in the magical and asymmetrical notions of everything they see, hear, touch, or even taste. Sadly, most of us are short of the surreality needed for dreaming beyond what they can physically see. In order to reach that sweet oblivious nirvana; you just have to see things for what they truly aren't.
