we don't dream about travelling to any of the various dream landscapes we find ourselves in but we cut from scene to scene "first i was …. then i/we were …" similar to the way a film cuts from scene to scene
use of editing that has influenced dream like quality in film
dreams that have influenced the editing of film?
Jan Svankmajer uses montages of juxtaposing sight and sound to change perception or to make light of scene or simply to add atmosphere
cutting of images to create harmony/contrast.
story can be told through disjointed scenes
SECONDARY ELABORATION - the outcome of the dreamer's natural tendency to make some sort of "sense" or "story" out of the various elements of the manifest content as recollected. (Freud, in fact, was wont to stress that it was not merely futile but actually misleading to attempt to "explain" one part of the manifest content with reference to another part as if the manifest dream somehow constituted some unified or coherent conception).
films that use secondary elaboration - LA JETEE
Long Transitions - examples within stanley kubricks - THE SHINING (see ROOM 237)
long transitions that transpose constructed images from colliding scenes through long fades
creates images within images CONDENSATION - visualisation/symbolism
these images may be hidden or not noticeable without editing software but choice by creators
