I only watched 'Sky Ladder' because the artistic images I saw in the trailer reminded me of Mike Clelland's dream of climbing a ladder and falling from it -

'Pollock' wasn't available on Netflix, but for some reason 'Sky Ladder' was offered up to me in the search results for 'Pollock' as an alternative, so I watched that instead.

I wonder what compels artists to share their art/dreams with the rest of their fellow humans?
I have to say that Jacob's Ladder type images in art and dreams do seem to have a powerful hold on us humans for some unconscious reason. But what I found personally synchromystic watching 'Sky Ladder' was that back in 2013 Cai Guo-Qiang held an exhibition titled 'Falling Back to Earth' at the art gallery in my Australian hometown of Brisbane (which I didn't pay any attention to at the time, not knowing anything about the artist back then).
But reading about the 'Falling Back to Earth' art exhibition in Brisbane from an artist obsessed with building a "sky ladder" made me think of Mike Clelland feeling compelled to share his falling from a ladder dream on his blog this year.

This is the kind of stuff I like reading about at Mike's blog and in his books, those, "I had a dream that wasn't a dream" dreams/experiences.
And if you liked what I have tried to express here in this post, then I think you will like watching 'Sky Ladder', also.

Thank you for the heads up on sky ladder! And thanks again for YOUR mental sky ladders to podcasts, places, experiences and musings. I love that you are linked to me through the secret sunspot where I meander so regularly and that you are so prolific and interestingly clearspoken in your ways. I can't imagine putting my days online but I love that you do! Thanks for sharing skyladder!
