He had a lot of repressed 'feelings' and suchlike, which no doubt made it hard to sleep at night, but it's the effect of thse confusing 'feelings' that manifest in his pictures, not the resulting nightmares

Don't think he did, his paintings can be a bit spooky I suppose depends how you read them. It was just his style of art

He probably did at some point, but they aren't really manifested in his work. He certainly saw the world a little differently from most of us. He was a bizarre person - he was expelled from art college because he refused to allow any of his professors to critique his work. Imagine that sort of self-confidence at such a young age?! There was also a rumour at one point, possibly still doing the rounds, that he used to rub fish on his armpits as his wife liked the smell and taste. It's not proven, but nothing would surprise me about Dali anymore.

Curiously, one of his works - The Persistence of Memory, he claimed, was inspired by looking at a melting Camembert cheese. Now cheese causes nightmares so I am told. Dali was a very clever chap and like most clever people was close to the verge of insanity

Well, considering he lived through facshist Franco and the Nazis, I'm sure he and alot of other artists had alot of nightmares.

I don't think so, although some of his works might have been inspired by dreams, I doubt he had more nightmares than any of us.
It seems to me that people like to "blame" the dreams, because they think no one in their right mind could think of such images just like that. I beg to differ - how many times did you have a surreal dream? and did you make a painting about it? if no, why not? because having a weird dream is not enough to make a great painting. I know because I have disturbing dreams all the time, and nothing good ever came out of them. |
