Dream world

Having looked at this picture, you probably think that the author accepted a good dose of drugs. Yea, I thought the same when saw this huge crazy cat eating the car. Imagine what life would be if the animals were bigger than we. I guess, we would be their pets in this way. 

But the author of this picture just had a very rich imagination. I love such pictures cus they are unique. I don`t like usual landscapes, portraits and still lifes. Every person who can draw will be able to represent it. The special imagination isn't required in these pictures. Probably, artists who created unusual works, and writers who wrote magic books, were or mentally ill people, or took drugs because  ordinary people never have the rich imagination. They just care of things which happen to all in this world- and that`s enough. 

Imagination! Without this quality it is impossible to be neither the poet, nor the philosopher, neither the clever person, nor a thinking creature, even just the person. I can`t imagine myself far from my dreams and fantasy. Life would be so boring without imagination, I`m sure. It`s a pity that we live in this mediocre world without unicorns, dragons, elves and fairies. When I`ve read the book "Alice in Wonderland" I dreamed of such life for myself. Cheshire cat, white speaking rabbit and tea time with Mad Hatter-what can be better?! I would never leave this magic world and I`d be the most happy girl in it cus it would be a life impregnated with imagination completely! But it is impossible in real life, it is possible only in my head. I think those people who thought up the fantasy world were very unhappy in reality and wanted to create something such where there will be a magic and the fairy tale. Of course, I heard that Lewis Carroll took drugs, composing the book "Alice in Wonderland" therefore he saw hallucinations. Maybe Alice, White rabbit, Mad Hatter, Cheshire cat and Queen of Hearts are those hallucinations, who knows. Anyway, the book turned out amazing and if drugs helped it to become such, I don`t see anything awful in it.

By the way, I`ve read this book at first in russian when I was 4 or 5. And also re-read it in english when I was 11. It`s one of my favorite fantasy stories. 


I am sure I have to be a writer because I have a very rich imagination. Sometimes I can`t sleep at night cus my thoughts don`t let me do it. I have so many plots in my head, they mix up among themselves and turn into a big ball of imaginations. I am very glad that people can`t read thoughts. They would lose the mind because of mine! And probably it is even better that I can`t know of what people think because I lose my head thanks to my thoughts and if I could read all what is in strangers` minds...The psychiatric hospital would accept me with great pleasure :D I think so much that I always see the dreams when I`m sleeping. Often they are even more mad than all my thoughts.

I loved to read Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales in childhood. Grandmother always did it for me. This writer lived in his imaginations. He saw things differently than other people. Bottle splinter, roses, sun beam, old toy-all this came to life in his eyes. Andersen wanted to make the whole world alive and magic. I have a book with his fairy tales and I remember all of them almost by heart. Some stories are very sad, probably sometimes Andersen lost the hope for transformation of the world into the fairy tale.


When I was in Amsterdam, I visited the Van Gogh Museum. Fabulous place! Some pictures are unclear but very surprising too. I wanna show two which I liked most of all.

Who will draw the such, being in senses??? I am afraid to think what occured in Van Gogh`s head at that time! The girl is very strange. Kids don`t look so in real life. And the skull smoking the cigarette-it is twice strange! :D But I love it cus I love unusual things. And I love Van Gogh`s words:

That`s true. How can you create something brilliant if you won`t concentrate on what you do? Silence, loneliness and inspiration-only all this is necessary for masterpiece creation, never mind: a picture, a book or music. It is hard for me-to be concentrated in noisy city. The biggest inspiration comes to me in the wood or near the sea...

 

I really want to write something brilliant. But now I have plots only about usual life where people love each other, have conflicts, eat, drink, go to school and just live. It is interesting too but doesn`t demand a lot of imagination. You can just look at the people, ask them about their lives and it will be enough. Everybody has the own unique story. I can write about myself because my life is filled with awesome stories. Earlier I didn`t understand it. I thought that my destiny is very boring and uninteresting. Now I look back and see what I passed for 22 (almost 23) years. It would be a great book, really! Go bananas...

My conclusion: people have to see the unusual in usual things. It makes our life more wonderful and brighter. Even gray and tiresome days can become fine if you will dream up a little.
