Beyond his creative and outgoing personality, it was clear that Dali put a great deal of thought and questioning and overall analysis into his art and the happenings of everyday life.

Despite being recognized as one of the faces of surrealism, Dali had quite a turbulent relationship with the movement. Although at first he was welcomed into the community of surrealists, the tight-knit group eventually objected to his work, personal choices and political opinions which conflicted with the fundamentals of surrealism. He was ultimately ousted from the surreal community. Nevertheless, Dali held his beliefs and maintained that he was a true surrealist. He believed this so much so that he said, “the only difference between the surrealists and me is that I am a surrealist.”

Dalí was constantly exploring new ways to approach his art and uncover new ideas. One of his favorite techniques was to retrieve hypnagogic (dreamlike) images from brief and interrupted naps by waking up just as he was falling into a deep sleep so that he would be able to capture the subconscious images of his mind.
