A Nightmare Vision

[kokopelle]

I've had very few true sleeping nightmares. It seems most of my terrors are during waking hours. Anyway, one of the few nightmares I remember involved a spiral staircase that I found in an alley. Somehow I knew that people had hung themselves from these stairs. No bodies were present at that time, but I was filled with dread and fear. It is the dreams that have an absence of terror objects that have scared me the most.

I'm afraid of something in my dreams called a Star Well. I have no idea what that is because whenever it comes up as an issue I get so scared that I change dreams.

Maybe my unconscious just can't spell.

Great image, by the way. I like the mix of lines, rectangles, trapezoid, spiral.

I'm trying to work out when black and white is more appropriate than color (or atleast a good alternative). In this case the shapes were more important than the color, and I wanted to convey a sense of anxiety that the warm colors of the bricks did not impart.
