Dave Green is an artist from the UK. But instead of a regular studio (or in addition to it), he uses lucid dreams, and instead of live models, he uses dream characters. During his childhood, lucid dreams provided salvation from his nightmares; later, they became a tool for creativity.
Dave creates drawings directly in his dreams. Then, first thing in the morning, he takes paper and pen to copy them in reality. Sometimes the characters in his dreams draw. He observes their creative self-expression and then he asks himself whether the characters have their own inner lives and artistic abilities.
The artist also actively collaborates with researchers. In one experiment, scientists tasked him with seeing a photo in a lucid dream, which they sent in reality the next morning. Green is also interested in shamanic practices and the possibilities of healing through lucid dreaming.
