surfaced again and continues to assert itself inhibiting all attempts at an intelligence of
Modernism that is not driven by limbic-logic, inhibiting all attempts at research in the present
of cognitive science that make clear its subverting role in our present potential in cognition in
memory and recall.
A comparison can be made between the relation of a cultures focus in cognition in “Art,” in its
awake art-process, which can be understood as the awake-dream-process and the cognitive
process at work within that cultures sleep- dream-process which can be understood as the
asleep-art-process. An analysis of the comparison of the cognitive processes at work in the
awake culture and the asleep culture will reveal a cultures role serving either cognitive maturity
and therefore the evolving of abstraction and free-will in intellect or immaturity inhibiting
development of abstraction and free-will in intellect.
Dreaming reveals the bio-brain system inherent processes of expression and therefore art,
processes that left to themselves are even more limbic-logic led and therefore in greater
cognitive immaturity than the immaturity in cognition and memory that more or less left to
itself limbically leads our awake expression of self to cognitive immaturity, no less than the
processes in memory and cognition of our fine art in its form and content.
Within cognitive-science the problem is easy enough to understand, left to itself cognition and
memory will be a limbic dominant process, any abstraction occurring will be subservient to
limbic-systems logic, in all realms of self-expression. It is in this way, simply leaving it to
itself that immaturity in cognition and memory is educated. Our dream art process its logic in
cognition like that of our awake art is not only a gauge of the immaturity of the cognition and
memory at work in our dream and awake art processes, but is the means through education in
lucidity to serve their maturing in service of development of free-will in intellect.
By guiding our asleep and awake art within lucidity we are able to lead the art-process within
intention in abstraction in memory and cognition freeing our asleep and awake processes of
memory and cognition of limbic dominance with its inherent retributiveness. We are able
through our intention in lucidity to design higher-purpose, deconstructing our art from its
domination by our limbic-system and limbic organizing of our memory and cognition to serve
retributive-reconciliations. Lucidity in art permits us to win back our cognitive-potential in
intention in free-will in intellect, in memory and cognition inherent to our Sapiens Sapiens
stage in bio-brain-system development.
By applying the techniques of lucid-dreaming to both our asleep and awake art-process, to both
our asleep and awake memory and recall, we engage our art, our cognition, our memory and
recall, within their role and process in creativity, within the lucidity and intention of
abstract-cognition, in a free-will in intellect that serves our Sapiens-Sapiens stage in bio-brain
system evolution.
I reference, Dreaming and the Brain : Towards a Cognitive Neuroscience of Conscious States, by
J. Allan Hobson, Edward Pace-Schott and Robert Stickgold. Whether the reference is art,
culture or acculturation, their lucidity in cognition in memory and recall depends on an
objective-observer-mind. Lucidity needs a language-fluent-abstract-cognitive-dominant-mind,
to engage, participate in, and abstract-cognitively direct to higher-purpose what would in
limbic-dominance be a retributive-tainted-intention in memory and recall.
