THE DREAM JOURNAL: Post here an IMAGE of a DREAM

#9

This is from a nightmare I had some years ago…

Walking down a busy street with a park to my right and non-stop traffic to my left. This guy starts walking alongside me from the park, then I feel something slam into my back, and realize that was the handle of a knife… the blade went in so deep I felt the handle hit my back.

I quickly try to cross the street to get away, but I get halfway across and the opposite lane of traffic will not let me by. Now cars start coming in the lane I’m standing in. The guy is waiting for me on the curb.

I can either get hit by a car, or go back to him:

Then I woke up.

Hi,
This image is a part of a dream I had this week. Me and my girlfriend are getting married in a forest.
I tried to represent the clothes as I saw these but there must be some kind of interpretation.
As usual in my dreams, the images that I see are a perfect reflection of life as It should be (according to me).
A beautiful woman, love, a mysterious forest, art, great colors and a little grainy effect.
In fact, I don’t have many dreams, most are nightmares, so I wanted to represent this one instead of my
eternal demons.
Well, I guess that says all.

Well, if you ever needed an evidence that being an illustrator/artist was your true calling you should find it here:scream:

I have never dreamt a paper structure I am sure!:scream:

Wonderful dress and beautifully rendered atmosphere of perfection in present

A Dream Journal, great… :thumbsup:
I’ll try to post from time to time.

Great idea for a thread! And franck kobolt, thats one of the most gorgeous interpretations of a dream I’ve seen, not to mention a quite lovely piece of art. Do you mind me asking how long it took and what software you used?

billcunningham, I love the texture in that piece, and your dreams sound very much like my own.

Mel! Great to see you taking the plunge and joining CGTalk! And great images too, lovely sense of actually capturing what you saw in your mind on the second one with the wraith rider.

Now I’ll have to start keeping a dream log so I can participate!

#17

I’m so sorry! :slight_smile:

#18

yeah, that’s what I dreamed tonight! T-Rex chasing me through kind of a shopping mall street with a glass dome and a decorative man-made pool in there. I couldn’t quite manage to perfectly depict what it looked like in my dream, the area was much more vast.

 Hey thanks for the interpretation. :) I always loved that first dream I posted a lot. And I’ve always wanted to go back there in my dreams but haven’t dreamed that again, sadly. I was so content and happy that when I woke up, it actually depressed me. It’s like I found my little nirvana, my happy place, my sanctuary.

Are you in a studio sharing projects together? Or is this how you feel when you’re online at CGtalk?

I’m actually in an office with two Autocad people. :wink: Dunno if I could classify that as an artist, more a drafter. So I guess that would plant me in a solitary environment; both at work and home. I’m like a hermit crab. I only expose myself when I need to move around. Hehe

To be truthful, I was actually very intimidated to join CGTalk. Every time I popped by the forums I’d see all this wonderful art and pro level material and just thought, “I will be laughed at if I post my work there
” (I don’t always hold a high value on my artwork. :p) So for the longest time I never posted here even though I’d registered a while ago. Stupid silly inhibitions!

   But anyway, you did hit it solidly about my personal view on work. :)  Though I could never see that ever happening in our reality

I don’t think a brain surgeon wants to take a pay cut. :stuck_out_tongue:

The second dream
oyi where to start. Any dream with Tolkien related material is always weird and fun. Anything with Ringwraiths
are just plain farkin awesome. :smiley: Usually what happens is if they are seeking me out, I’m running and hiding from them. If I’m seeking them out, they run and hide from me. It’s like a big game of Catch Me if you Can. I’m sure somewhere in my subconscious they are representing something about myself but I have yet to figure it out so I just sit and enjoy the dream. Though I get pretty frustrated when they run from me
all I want to do is give them my heart felt affection. :-*

That dream actually continued on further I just didn’t post it since it didn’t relate to the illustration. But eventually I came to a house with a stable attached to the side. I was talking to some woman who lived there, and I took off my cloak thinking I was safe. Well, lo and behold, Mr. Ringier returns and he basically called BS on my story. The fell beast he rode turned into a Frisian horse and he rode up to me, but I made some remark about how those horses didn’t exist during this time and it disappeared. Then the ringwraith was on his feet and I saw the richness of his armor and clothing and I felt smitten by him. After that point, I took his hand and we wandered into a rock shop of all things.

   To be honest I have no idea where to begin trying to analyze it, so I just take it as an adventure dream.

Yeah I finally plucked up the courage to post. Hehe After a while I just stared at all the resources here and reading through the WIP stuff and my brain just snapped and said, “Yo, foo. Post dat art up!” Well maybe not like Mr. T but something similar. :stuck_out_tongue:

 LOL  That is a great image! Conjures up a lot of dreams I’ve had with rampaging T-Rexes.

This image is of my first lucid dream experience…It was also my first recurring dream…

Hi, just saw this thread, remembered one of my early pictures (pre-tablet).
I woke up from this dream with a pain in one of my arms, and this was the only thing I remembered of the nightmare. Done with pencil on paper, colored in photoshop with a mouse.

The moral of that dream is, of course:

“Never feed the hand that bites you.”

Ba-dump BUMP! (Thank you, here all week…)

Last night I was part of a professional sports team, for some new sport that combined swimming, basketball, and online gaming… It seemed like forever to get ready, then I woke up before the game was over… I think we were winning though.
:smiley:
Anyone want to illustrate that?

:scream:
Oh man, do you always have such hilarious dreams?

#25

I was walking in a clothing store in a mall, then I grabbed a coat, started running and suddenly I flew!

#26

:smiley: HAha, I think I have ones that are much better, I just can’t seem to recall them as well as others. :shrug:

#27

Irmeli! What a delightful little set of action sketches! Sounds like a cool dream. I love the flying dreams.

I had a really great dream once that was a real life game where you got into this huge mech and ran around on this course. They were taller than buildings and some could fly. Mine was bigger than everyone else’s. It was like being invincible. They had old junk cars lying around just so you could crush them in your hands. I wish I were better at drawing mechanical stuff. All the lines in my brain curve.
