365 Days of Art: A dream you had

63. A dream you had

The above picture is for challenge number 63 on my 365 Days of Art list; that's "A dream you had".

This was the most recent dream I had before I started this drawing, but I had to decide between this one and another I had last year, in which I was travelling through space inside a mechanical swan and then went to a fair in it and met some Victorian people or the space opera type dream I had. I did also consider some of my recurring dreams, but those always seem to be rather unpleasant and would be difficult to draw, as I usually experience them from more than one person's perspective at once (it's difficult to describe). 

Anyway, this dream was pretty tame compared to the ones I normally have, but the sound was unusual for me, and the way I woke up was different as well. I will say here too that it was all from my point of view, which is also very unusual for me. I've drawn one image for this so far, but I might add another at some point. If I do, I'll add a link back here in a future entry.

So, on with the dream...

365 Days of Art: Someone Lying Down

333. Someone lying down.

Often, when I walk past open doors in my dreams, I catch glimpses of a figure lying on a bed beyond. Usually, they are male and have liquid running from their eyes and mouth, with an expression of visible distress / disgust on their face. The sight of this person is quite unpleasant, because I never know why they are unhappy or what I should do to help them, and walk past the room without entering. That scene has appeared at least ten times in my dreams, so today I decided to draw it as part of the challenge.
