Talk:Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee Around a Pomegranate a Second Before Awakening

Sleep Paralysis
The source for this claim is completely unsubstantiated. The claim is that much of Dalí's work was inspired by Sleep Paralysis, nothing to suggest that they were referring to this specific painting. Regardless- it's an irrelevant source. Removed. Ph33rspace (talk) 01:05, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree with Ph33rspace. I reformated the sourced info so that it more accurately indicates that the painting and sleep paralysis inspired the album. While I also think it was an irrelevant source as cited, I believe it is relevant to the painting as an inspiration. Wakedream (talk) 23:32, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Dali's amazing
Dali's work here is truly inspirational - the linked chain of events connote to the food chain and the chain reaction which occurs as a result of the bee and a pomegranite

Indeed, i am studying Dali for GCSE and find his work very unusual.

Original title?
Is this the original title or does it have a spanish/catalan name?

This is the original title
The original title (in catalan) is:

Somni provocat pel vol d’una abella al voltant d’una magrana un segon abans de despertar.

In spanish would be something like: Sueño provocado por el vuelo de una abeja alrededor de una magrana un segundo antes de despertar.
 * Abella in Catalan and abeja in Spanish mean bee, not bumblebee. The correct title is also shown on Dali-gallery.com. I've moved this page and renamed the painting. Nice artwork! Torero 19:51, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Magrana is nonsense in Spanish; you might mean granada. --Daniel bg 16:15, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I found the original title listed as "Rêve causé par le vol d'une abeille autour d'une pomme grenade, une seconde avant l'éveil." I'll do some checking to see, hopefully, which is correct. Wakedream (talk) 00:02, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Unmentioned bits
Not usually an "art interpreting type", but with this picture facing my bed...it has forced me to think about it. Notice: the pomegranite, tigers, and womans hair are all orange to some degree. Also, imagining that if it were a man, not a woman, and the order reversed, there would be a bit of a food chain relationship. Then notice the woman at rest, she stops it in it's tracks..and could care less. The elephant still trips me out though. and why 2 tigers?

A point about this painting that no one here seems to have noticed is that Gala is not actually on the rocks but floating slightly above them, in the gravity-free suspension of dream. Graycard (talk) 20:18, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Dredg?
Is the part about the rock band making a tribute to the painting really relevant enough to put in the article about the painting?


 * It shows the influence the painting has had. More influences may be added--these type of things seem to be commonly done on Wikipedia. Wakedream (talk) 07:02, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

The Bear or the Tiger?
I regretfully removed the reference comparing the second tiger to a bear and the two links from this article. Personally, I find this observation fascinating. Unfortunately, it qualifies as original research, which isn't allowed on Wikipedia. If the editor can find a reliable source that says this, I'd be happy to add it back in, or the editor could do so.

Still a stub?
This article has been stubbed since 7 Feb. 2006. It's been substantially expanded, and I don't believe it qualifies as a stub any longer. However, as I've made most of the recent edits, I don't feel I should be the one to "destubify" it. Any volunteers? Wakedream (talk) 06:54, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Removing stub tag. Having just read Suzanne K. Langer, Feeling and Form, I believe this article fits nicely in Category:Symbolism. --Ancheta Wis (talk) 08:47, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Themes and symbolism - grammar issue
"The smaller pomegranate floats between two droplets which may symbolize Venus, especially because of the heart-shaped shadow it casts."

Is it the pomegranate that may symbolise Venus, or the droplets? If it's the former, then I believe that the "which" in that sentence should be an "and". I'm not sure so I won't change it myself. Thanks. -Sarah, February 13th 2008.

Frame
The extraordinary frame deserves mention. I assume we are describing here the real object, rather than a conceptualized image. 116.251.188.18 (talk) 09:24, 24 July 2015 (UTC)webscool

Michigan
I find it interesting that nobody has commented that the "flat rock" in the painting is roughly a mirror image of the USA state of Michigan. --Lance E Sloan (talk) 17:45, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
