Continuing his exploration of the Dreams State/Sleep State series, MacDonald gives dramatic expression to this profound aspect of human reality in Dreams.  A work of rare and subtle beauty, Dreams defies one’s logical sense of physical reality, conjuring instead a familiar, yet otherworldly experience of the subconscious mind.  With her upper body pressed against her pillow, the figure appears to float weightlessly in space, as if quite literally buoyed by her state of dreaming.
