Surrealism was about reuniting conscious and unconscious realms of experience so that the world of dream and fantasy would be joined to the everyday rational world in a surreality. Breton saw the unconscious as the wellspring of the imagination and hedefined genius in terms of accessibility to this normally untapped realm, which, he believed, could be attained by poets and painters alike.
