Dreams make for horrid designs.

I saw this deer in a dream about 2 nights ago. I know he looks absolutely ridiculous, but I couldn't help but at least try and draw him - despite being horrendously out of practice.

The dream itself was pretty long and scary in some parts (Including getting shot at), but I mostly remember the sequence involving this deer. I remember sitting on a wall, and I happened to look down, and he was standing there, and we locked eyes. I could hear this song playing in the backround, but I had no clue what it was (Creepily enough, when I obtained Florence and the Machine's "Lungs" album, it turns out it was this song from the album.), but I remember the feelings I had when I saw him. My heart just started racing a mile a minute - it felt like it was about to burst - and I had this incredibly strong desire to follow him, chase him. I didn't want to hurt him or anything, but I wanted to be close to him, to touch him. His fur was glossy looking, but it wasn't sparkly or anything like that. He looked so soft to the touch. He was a small thing too, only about the average size of a Whitetail buck. I remember following him, and we wound up in someone's backyard. And then he used the antler emote from TEF, and he somehow ran off.

I'm still trying to figure out what that portion of the dream meant, or if it meant anything at all. I just remember the intensity of my feelings when I saw him, and I honestly hope I see him again at some point.

Wow... intense dream. Wish I

Wow... intense dream.
Wish I could help you interpreting the dream. I'd like to see what some of the dreams I've had mean if there is anything behind them too.

Anyway...
He looks beautiful, almost ghostly or spirit-like with the colors he has.
I hope you get to see him again and get closer. Maybe he's a spirit guide or something.
Also... Awesome song. =D

I like the subtlety of this design. Vivid dreams are so nice to have.

I don't strive to be the best, but instead I strive to do my best, and always give it my all every time.

Beaumont - Indeed, very intense. Very random too - there was a part where I was downloading Pokemon Puzzle League cutscenes. I kid you not.

Hehe, he took my breath away when I saw him. And perhaps his is; who knows. I really do want to see him again &hearts

Florence and the Machine are an awesome group - it was kinda scary though because I never heard that song before, and when I was listening to the album and that song came up, it was a huge "WTF" moment for me.

Eyestrain - &hearts Yes they are.

Sypris - He looked even more dream-like in the dream. I really wish I could colour and draw him exactly as I saw him, but I lack the skills to do that. I've find it increasingly frustrating to draw because I imagine what I want the end result to look like, but I don't have the skills to make it look like that. Oh well. fkskfsk

o.o'..... ok.... XD It would

o.o'..... ok.... XD

It would be amazing if he was. And I really hope you do.

I only know a few songs from them myself and I'm sure it would've been. That's kind of happened to me before, songs showing up in my dreams. Though with mine they happen to be a song that's playing on my iPod while I'me dreaming since I like to fall asleep to music. <3

I have a lot of WTF dreams,

I have a lot of WTF dreams, LOL

In all honestly, the main reason I want to see him again is because of the emotions I felt when I saw him; the near-bursting heartbeat, the red-hot heat in my veins, the pull, the urge, the desire to chase, capture, touch. As frightening as those can be, it's also the kind of rush that I want to feel again and again.

I've fallen asleep to music only once, and that was only because I was incredibly tired. I have a hard time falling asleep when there's no complete silence, hahaha.

Are there any dreams that

Are there any dreams that don't have something that makes us go 'WTF?' XD

I have to say that if I felt that after seeing something in a dream I would want to meet then/see it again. But alas, I have yet to see something in my dream that is powerful enough to leave me helpless and lusting after it.

Hehe... well for me it depends on how tired I am. Most of the time I'll fall asleep to music. But there are some nights where I'll pretty much fall into unconciousness as soon as my head hits the pillow. ^^
