Interpretation of my dream:

1. I placed a premium on originality. I objected to the painters who shamelessly painted in the style of other painters. The dream also includes an implicit critique of Miró's self-plagiarism.

2. I was also placing a premium on technical skill. I objected to the poor draftmanship of the artist painting Mickey Mouse. I admired the technical skill of Warhol without liking his art.

3. Anger. I was angry that this kind of work was being done and accepted as valid.

4. I was looking at a catalogue, not at the paintings themselves. A lot of my experience of art is looking at reproductions rather than originals. The dream had a second-hand quality.
