holographic duplicate of self

i might have already mentioned this dream in a previous blog post... somewhat recently, (i think??). anyways, now there's a visual description to match: 




i was gazing out my bedroom window, towards the same beach i always stare at. a copy of my self was sitting on the other side of the desk, resting her hand on the surface, in front of me, while talking directly to me. i went to put my hand on top of hers. she turned into a hologram and dissipated into the streets below. -- dream from summer 2010. photo collage made 2011.


this dream brought up a lot of questions. a lot of self exploration. and a lot of trying to distinguish the difference between sleeping and wake life. the two are trying to connect and unify. dorey kronick. who is that? what is this person trying to accomplish? where does my personality come from? why do i love the things that i do? what is spirituality? who is this rainbow self of mine that shows up in dreams? colors are always on my mind. bright colors. i have a hard time ever picking just one color. i like to use them all. as many as i can. the light spectrum - ROYGBIV - red orange yellow green blue indigo violet - is a rainbow. light waves. wavelengths. why am i so obsessed with these concepts? 


the other day, a friend told me i have a one track mind. this is not necessarily true, if you ask me. but i do get fixated on certain things and then can't get them off my mind for a good while. 


so to conclude, this image is not quite what my dream looked like, visually. but late last night, as i was experimentally overlapping low quality photos of myself over one another with different effects, i realized that i had pieced together a visual way to convey how i felt about this epic dream last year. i think i may be onto something. 


i'll let you know when i figure it out.
