Dream Journal

The above image is a visualization of a dream I had about my niece inside one of my drawings.

In this dream I emerged from a deep slumber with clouded eyes, seeing before me nothing but fog. As my consciousness was gradually restored the fog dissipated with it, revealing a land lost in endless sea. On this small piece of land stood a single tree illuminated by a oversized moon, a scene in which I could faintly recognize. A small figure sat at the base of this tree, staring off into the endless sea. As I became more conscious as to where I was and who I saw sitting before me, I awoke.
