Surrealism is an art and literary movement that shows dreamlike, strange, and unrealistic scenes, often mixing fantasy with reality. It tries to express the hidden thoughts and feelings of the mind.
From French 'surréalisme', from 'sur-' (beyond) and 'réalisme' (realism). It literally means 'beyond realism', suggesting a step past ordinary reality into the world of dreams and the unconscious.
