Tough to decide when the brain is blah.
I run into that quite a bit.
The opening image, being a lot of red, at first glance I saw a rose, then after reading the whole post and looking again, I see a sleeping head in the center, and I can also understand it as a thought being processed by the brain.
The nice thing about your art, first second and re-looks, can all be different and convey so many things just depending on the context of the image, and how the individual is feeling at the time.
Dreamscapes and symbolism can mean so many different things, the head stone, the moon, the symbol, the shadowy figures, all can have a lot of varied interpretations. One person could say it means this and another something just opposite. Me I would see it as looking for the key that will allow one to part the veil.
That red piece will eventually fit together with a few others that share a similar style. I started building a puzzle years ago, one piece at a time. A big project and I thought people would get sick of seeing red all the time, so it's just something I slowly pick away at now. Each piece stands alone just fine but eventually it'll all come together and be massive. I don't know if I'll ever finish.
Dream analysis is kind of pointless. I noticed everyone comes to a different conclusion as well, much like horoscopes and fortune cookies.
