DREAM ON

“It’s funny how life has a life of its own.” ⏤ Quote from Cassandra’s Dream by Woody Allen

Life is but a chemical process, mysterious and magical. Given the difficulty to realize our dreams, I decided to create chemical formulæs to enable us to take control of our lives. DREAM ON is a space of research, a laboratory of experiments, with the objective to make, with the utmost possible perfection, our dreams get real.

As a dream must anchor itself in reality to be truly viable, unstable ingredients from the oneiric world are mixed with others from the real world, trying to wed our dreams to our reality. A basic mixture composed by 4 essential ingredients needed to make any dream come true, then all the additional ingredients to reach the specificity of a named dream. So far , 46 ingredients were used to make 7 dreams come true : Perpétuer mes traditions, Être virile, Rester jeune, Être en bonne santé, Être beau de l’intérieur, Être attirant, & Trouver mon âme soeur.

However, since life has a life of its own...no matter what their nature is and although the obtained result represents the dream come true “technically”, it is never quite as one would ordinarily expect. This brings us to question ourselves on the foundation of our own aspirations and the means we use to achieve them. Also, the results show the impossibility to control life, and therefore encourages to accept what life offers us...as well as see the beauty in its imperfections.

Life is but a dream, fiat exvagus!
