Description They say dreams are like dark waters, and if so, I wonder what kind of fishes swim there.

I made this drawing inspired by that thought, of a strange boy who weaves fishes in the dark waters...

I wish you all pleasant dreams and if you do swim the dark waters, say hi to the dreams that swim there for me : )

This is the companion drawing to the Dancing with night fishes from yesterday. Here is link: www.deviantart.com/paperslayer…


The witchy woman represents good dreams, and fantastical things, like fishes that can swim in mid-air and dance a spell for happy thoughts.


And this boy represents those other dreams, unsettling and dark, strange waters, vulnerability, things that are eeriely too big for comfort, things like that~


Together, they are the light and dark of our surreal landscapes that we visit when we sleep :>

Very pretty! In real life, being there would scare the crap out of me, because big fish are spooky as all heck! Β

You're welcome. Β 
Haha, I'm freaked out by them even if they are smaller than me. It's enough that they are big enough to eat my hand and I'm freaked out. Also, fish never blink... and it's freaky. Β

If the fisher sails on the sea of dreams and deep on that dark waters swim strange kinds of fish...


...i wonder what kind of birds fly above their head.


The sea of subconsicous is deep and strange and the sky of being is far away and out of hand. We are the limit, we are the frontier, and we only can witness the grandeur of both.
