Three Things: Dream Edition VII

This week, let’s visit the dream state again. This time, we’ll focus on the feverish dreams. The ones in which people and places are continually morphing into new things and half-things; a parade of random objects and mismatched parts. And there’s nothing like some trippy photomontages from the ’30s to help put us in the mood.
