We experience the world from the solid stand point of logical thinking. However playing is entering the
world of magical thinking and gathering the pure look of the child’s eye. Plays let us go into a more
unbounded layer where we can experience the ‘reality’ differently. In this altered state of consciousness,
s/he can experience derealization and depersonalization. This dissociation can be regarded both as the
symptom of a mental illness and the experience of the artist who loses himself in the process of creating.
When one flows in playful trance, some mental images can come into being. Bipolar disorder is a type
of mental illness where this kind of mental images, creativity and madness come close to each other.
Although traditional approach can relate those images to delusions, this image-producing process is the
main necessity of creating and standing against that one-dimensional perception of psychiatry may be
liberating.
