"...though many other speakers dealt with the subject, one of the best being by Fariba Bogzaran in a parallel session on lucid dreaming. (Some of her prints and paintings were also in the exhibition, and I believe that she was one of the prizewinners.) Bogzaran's work investigates the relationship between the imagery experienced by lucid dreamers when asked to pursue the 'spiritual' in their dreams, and their paintings, and also the strange consonances between these paintings and those of certain artists such as Matta and Gordon Onslow-Ford who were not lucid dreamers. Many of the slides that she showed seem to deal with an art that comes almost from consciousness itself."
