Surealism c.1924Dictionary: Surrealism, n. Pure psychic automatism, by which one proposes

to express, either verbally, in writing, or by any other manner, the real functioning of thought. Dictation of thought in the absence of all control

exercised by reason, outside of all aesthetic and moral preoccupation.

Encyclopedia: Surrealism. Philosophy. Surrealism is based on the belief in the superior reality of certain forms of previously neglected associations, in the omnipotence of dream, in the disinterested play of thought. It tends to ruin once and for all other psychic mechanisms and to substitute itself for

them in solving all the principal problems of life.
