Artist's Comments

I had a dream that I was falling, and was inspired to draw it.

But I was also worried, because the dream was very realistic, and some of the things people said in my dream, they said to me the next day. And it freaked me out! So I caled my friend, and she recommended dreammoods(dot)com. I looked up "falling" and this is what it said:

Falling dreams are another theme that is quite common in the world of dreams. Contrary to a popular myth, you will not actually die if you do not wake up before your hit the ground during a fall.
As with most common dream themes, falling is an indication of insecurities, instabilities, and anxieties. You are feeling overwhelmed and out of control in some situation in your waking life. This may reflect the way you feel in your relationship or in your work environment. You have lost your foothold and can not hang on or keep up with the hustle and bustle of daily life.�When you fall, there is nothing that you can hold on to. You more or less are forced toward this downward motion without any control. This lost of control may parallel a waking situation in your life.
Falling dreams also often reflect a sense of failure or inferiority in some circumstance or situation. It may be the fear of failing in your job/school, loss of status, or failure in love. You feel shameful and lack a sense of pride. You are unable to keep up with the status quo or that you don't measure up.

The creepiest part of the article was reading this:
Sometimes when we have these falling dreams, we feel our whole body jerk or twitch and we awaken from this jerk. It is thought that this jerking action is part of an arousal mechanism that allows the sleeper to awaken and become quickly alert and responsive to possible threats in the environment.

And yes, I was looking up this information at 3:30 in the morning... which didn't make the situation any better. So... I'm better of not sleeping, eh?

Great job on the picture! :star:
Interesting, I didn't know that about dreams (and I aways believed that when falling in dreams - if you hit the ground before you wake up you die. I'm glad that's not true)
