The model for surrealist creations was the dream. Maybe we can go back
there to seek for a surrealist narrative. In a dream, things don't have a
logical link, so it seems :). Things just happen. That is, when I write down
a dream I had, I am suprised of the lack of logic, the eclectic
(word) order of events. But what is interesting thouh, is that when I was
dreaming, everything seemed to make so much sense. In my dream, I have
often a mandate, a quest, a fear (therfore a story). But that story has
it's own logic. Not the one of outlands, rl, flesh world, or how ever you
call it. Things happen, I move, events are linked cause I'm changed in the
purpose. In the Carnaval structure, I'm the same in and out. Imagine it
with the following twist: I change, my actions have consequences (as
surrealist may they be). Therefor, my actions are linked and there is a
quest. A quest to see/live the results of my actions. That would give
suffisant links, basis of story telling with out killing the surrealistic
universe.
Don't know if all of this makes sense, I just woke up. And, sorry for my
spelling, english isn't my mother toung.
