Kurt Andersen and novelist Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni talk about dreams. We’ll lie down in Marina Abramovic’s "Dream Bed," a sculpture that lets visitors take a nap. We’ll hear about jazz musician Rahsaan Roland Kirk, who dreamt he could play three horns at once and made it a reality. And we’ll look at an American Icon that has been adored, fetishized, and mutilated: the Barbie doll.

Dreams have always provided rich material for artists, and interpreting dreams can be as fun as interpreting art. This week in Studio 360, Kurt Andersen and the novelist Chitra Bannerjee Divakaruni look at artists who use their sleeping hours to gather raw material.
