transcribed surrealist techniques. Even still, I'm not sure that I could
differentiate between conscious intent and the creative process. I know
that one has to do with the other because of the other. I think that the
creative process is exactly that, a process. It requires thoughtfullness
and careful intent. Perhaps?

But couldn't portions of GR consist of those "hypnagogic adventures that
with luck can
be recovered later on"?
The Surrealists were thoughtful and skilled, but they experimented with
relinquishing degrees of control and authority in the hope of creating
something surprising and unconventional.
