What Do You Even Name An Art Book? (Art Book #2)

A Snakey Situation

I have discussed dreams in this book before, specifically my dreams, but I don't know if I've told you guys one thing that I've recently figured out.

My subconscious or whatever it is that makes/causes dreams creates monsters and weapons and tests them on my dream self.

I wonder what that says about me when I subconsciously torture myself.

But not just that, my dreams are very weird in the sense that they're very, physical? Not quite sure how to word this. They have so much detail.

Take my dream last night for example (which was whole levels of weird) I could feel temperature shifts when I went from a shadow into the sunlight, I could feel wind coming off a river colder than it was before. I could feel the rocks under my shoes and I could feel pain very acutely.

My dreams are also pretty violent. Apparently a common 'nightmare' is having your teeth fall out. Everyone I ask says they haven't had one, but I don't have very many friends so that's not an accurate poll. They normally just have their teeth fall out right? Well the two dreams I've had where my teeth fall out were, graphic. Have any of you seen Supernatural? You know that one episode in one of the first few seasons with the witches or whatever they were called and they used a hex bag to make that person cough up her teeth with a lot of blood? Yeah that's me. And I had those dreams before I saw that episode.

I probably have some weird mental thing that causes these weirdly realistic dreams. Maybe it's my dyslexia? Idk.

'So what does this have to do with art?' all those of you who read an art book for art are asking (yeah I don't do enough good art for this to be considered an art book I know XD).

Well I drew the snake in my dream last night.

That's all I can remember about the snake if you can read that. I actually did some research when I got to school and found put that the features of the snake are actually scientifically accurate with venomous snakes, so more science in my subconscious. Signs you're a huge nerd 😌. . . . .

I didn't draw the snake properly because I've never really drawn snakes before, but what can you do?

I've never see a snake do this in a picture or in real life so I just drew it from memory, or dream memory anyway. Does it count as memory if it didn't happen? Well it did happen just in my head . . But it's not real . . Wait I'm confused.

I'm pretty proud of this though.

Can you guys even read my hastily scribbled notes?

But yeah this thing was scary. And it's venom hurt let me tell you.

I want to call it something like a Dragon Snake or a Dragon Viper, but Idk if that sounds cool.

Another crazy thing about my dream last night was that it had layers. (Inception anyone?) Like I would be a character, and then I'd switch to being a different character, then the dream would 'zoom out' and I'd be just a floating spectator (like watching movies) and at the very end of the dream (when I was waking up) it zoomed out even more and I was reading a fanfiction on my tablet.

But the crazy thing is, as I though back on it there was evidence of the dream just being me reading fanfiction the whole time. There was a time when something weird happened, and he dream kinda paused and I heard someone asking 'wait how is that possible?' and I responded with an explanation. THAT WAS ME READING A COMMENT ON COMMENTING ON IT. And there were a few times when I just said something completely random that had no point in the story but still kinda related and that was me commenting.

My dreams kinda scare me.

Am I the only one??

Please tell me I'm not going insane.

Hope the snake is cool. I might draw more once I don't feel terrified thinking about it.

It was a super scary snake.

We cut off its head and it still came at us trying to kill us.

Yeah I'm done now. 😕
