"I know you...I walked with you once upon a dream...." is the first thing I think of when I hear the word dream.
For this theme there are a few things you might want to consider:
The Style
One style you may want to consider is surrealism. "The aim was to 'resolve the previously contradictory conditions of dream and reality'. Artists painted unnerving, illogical scenes with photographic precision, created strange creatures from everyday objects and developed painting techniques that allowed the unconscious to express itself."
The Medium
In my experience, dreams come in two varieties - vivid enough that we remember them when we wake up and the type that drift away when you try to remember them. Some mediums you may want to consider are watercolor, oils, or pastels.
Watercolor can mimic that feeling of a dream just about to slip away because of it's transparent nature. It also allows for easy blending which also creates a dreamlike effect.
Oils and pastels are more concrete and can mimic those vivid dreams that you can remember for the entire day. These mediums can also be blended quite easily which creates a dreamlike effect.
I can't wait to see what you come up with! Remember if you post them on instagram tag me @gyrfalconstudios or use #GFSYearofArt.
