have you got any tips for writing surrealism?
Surrealism as such is an artistic movement created as a response to World War I, where the limits of what is real and is not (not as fantasy) are broken, this means that whatever is on the character’s mind can manifest in the real world, and it makes sense.
I suggest you to find and read Les Champs Magnétiques by André Breton and Philippe Soupault. André Breton is considered the founder of Surrealism, he wrote about two manifests on surrealism.
Surrealism is not the same as magical realism, both of them are responses to different events, and while surrealism is focuses on the individual, magical realism does the same but on a social level.
Blur the lines so the imagination of the characters enters their reality, expand the horizons of the sceneries not in length but in depth. Remember imagery is very important as it adds symbolism, but is not an excuse to create a plotless story,
