Dream Pillow part1

Dream Pillow as inspired by Edo Period Japanese literature that dealt with a character
going to a special place and paying to sleep on a pillow with the result that a whole lifetime (that was very real) ensued only to end with the character waking and still being the same person. I took this idea and coupled it with Freud's unconscious as well as the metaphor of the Egyptian journey through death to be reborn, and created a piece that was irrational/rational, chaotic/complex occurring in our time and embodying transformation and self-understanding through 'dreaming'. This is part 1 of 2 parts. Part 2 is at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bb8z980hrJE
