Title: A Dream Within a Dream
Name: Tom Herbert
Country: USA
Software: Photoshop

Lately I've been very interested in dreams. Sometimes, however I confuse dreams with reallity and my favorite, hehehe, as Edgar phrases it, having the dream within a dream experience.

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow--
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand--
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep--while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

- Edgar Allan Poe

I saw the thread title and wondered if this had anything to do with the poem, and ha ha there is the poem. Nice surrealistic look :)

looks very nice, something i can see hanging in a gallery, the white outlines remove the sense of reality; i like that.
