Deep Sleep
DEEP SLEEP
In Deep Sleep, Jim McJunkin goes far beyond merely telling the reader what happens when the lights go out.
Deep Sleep is a collection of some 80 works of art that startle and delight – and always leave the viewer with something to think about. The book also contains verbal musings about dreams in general and McJunkin’s own specific dreams.
Does your mind tend to wander in the middle of the night? Does it play with your emotions? Mix lust and joy with fright? Does it view your life through a fictional lens? And take you to places your body has never been?
Familiar and strange visions and feelings. They make dreams confusing, and appealing. Dreams are ephemeral, and elusive. They get into your head. They’re intrusive.
And when you catch one, what have you got? Did it happen in real life? Probably not. It’s just something your subconscious decided to show. “This was lodged in your brain. Thought you should know.”
Hard to remember, and easy to dismiss. Dreams are what they are. Whatever that is.
