Juncture

This week I explore a popular dream symbol that's not as ominous as you would think. Follow this series to learn about common dream symbols and how to interpret your dreams.  

I use a multidisciplinary approach to examine films and dreams through their use of symbols, imagery, motifs, and other narrative techniques in storytelling. Dreams are the films your mind creates. I use many of the same methods to interpret dreams and explain how they relate to our waking lives.

Exploring symbols in the film 1992 Candyman

In today's episode I'll be analyzing and exploring the symbolism of the 1992 film "Candyman". 

Candyman is a 1992 American supernatural horror film written and directed by Bernard Rose and starring Virginia Madsen (Helen), Tony Todd (Candyman), Xander Berkeley (Trevor), Kasi Lemmons (Bernadette) and Vanessa Williams (Anne-Marie). Based on the short story "The Forbidden" by Clive Barker, the film follows a Chicago graduate student who was completing a thesis on the urban legends and folklore which led her to the legend of the "Candyman", the ghost of an artist and son of a slave who was murdered in the late 19th century for his relationship with a white painter’s landowner’s daughter.
