This was painted in 1993 based on sleep disorder suffered at the time, which culminated in a broken leg after a fall from a loft in my warehouse space. Images are from dreams/episodes. During REM sleep the body produces dopamine to paralyze the body to prevent one from acting out dreams during this most active dream period. At that time the intensity of dreams was such that this paralysis was overridden. Usually the dreams involved immediate mortal danger, and naturally one attempts to flee danger. On these occasions there would often be some injury. Normally the awareness and inherent knowledge of the space would limit any injury. However after moving from one warehouse space/loft to another was the most dangerous time. At that point one still has the previous space in mind and in a flash went over the edge of the loft causing a broken leg and other less severe injuries. Thus the title "Parasomnia" acrylic on canvas 120x72" to see a higher resolution image go here: http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s80/vnc333/Early%20Works/Parasomniawhole-2.jpg
