Dreamforms Journal — With Images

Dreamforms are one of the quietest, most essential parts of my MIS process. They aren’t meant to be polished, presentable, or even “good.” They’re simply the doorway—my way of staying connected to the intuitive space where MIS emerges.

Below are a few pages from my journal. I use these sketches to capture whatever rises up intuitively from the freeform space. Some of them become MIS. Some don’t. All of them matter.

The pictures below are all MIS and I'd like to go through them. For they are all "dreamforms".

🌀 When a Sketch Isn’t MIS

Sometimes a sketch carries intuition and surrealism, but no multidimensionality. When that happens, I keep it in the journal and let it rest. I don’t force it into MIS, and I don’t try to “fix” it.

It may resurface later. It may not. Either way, it keeps the doorway open.

That’s the point.

Dreamforms aren’t about producing finished work—they’re about maintaining the channel.

🐟 Recurring Forms and MIS Emergence

This next Dreamform is MIS. You can see the dimensionality, the surrealism, and the intuitive emergence all working together.

A fish appears here—one that has been recurring in my work for a couple of years now. I don’t ask why. I don’t assign meaning. I simply allow it to show up as it wants to.

That’s the peace of MIS: I don’t interrogate the process. I let the art events occur.

Why I Write in the Journal

Alongside the sketches, I write:

• the date

• a name, if one comes

• any thoughts or impressions

• anything that feels like it might matter later

Not every Dreamform becomes a painting. Many never leave the journal. But the purpose of Dreamforms isn’t to create a pipeline of future canvases—it’s to keep me connected to MIS without letting my logical mind take over.

My logical mind is strong. It wants to judge, organize, and control. Dreamforms are the discipline that keeps it quiet.

This is why the handwriting is fast, messy, and unfiltered. It’s not meant to be pretty. It’s meant to be true.

🌌 Tracking Time, Flow, and Evolution

I date everything because it lets me see:

• what was emerging at the same time

• how forms evolve

• how themes recur

• how my intuitive space shifts over weeks or months

It keeps the process fluid instead of fixed. It shows me the living architecture of MIS as it grows.

🎨 A Dreamform Waiting for Canvas

The last Dreamform I’m sharing is one I do hope to take to canvas one day. You can’t see the colors yet, but I can. I can feel the colorform inside it, waiting to emerge.

Not all Dreamforms have that pull. This one does.

🌊 Why Dreamforms Matter

Not all my MIS paintings begin as Dreamforms. Sometimes I sit down and go straight to the canvas. That’s part of the flow too.

But Dreamforms are the grounding practice—the way I stay open, intuitive, and unboxed. I don’t like being contained by rules or expectations. I don’t like my creativity being suffocated by structure.

Dreamforms keep me free.

They keep MIS alive.

They keep me connected to the part of myself that creates from peace, not pressure.
