this is so ominous! and very well painted!

Surreal and brilliant. <3

Reminds me of the song "And Through the Smoke and Nails" by Lycia.

That's cool, the eerie, echoing sound seemed appropriate to me also. It reminded me of Emperor's Aerie Decent, and Dark Fotress' Requiem Grotesque. Probably.. partly because Emperor's logo reminds me of an inverted version of the tower depicted here, and Dark Fortress well.. self explanatory <<

Pretty much agreed on all points! Plus... I cann't help but notice it looks a bit similar to a fortress I used to dream about. Did there happen to be a bridge in thsi dream too? I'm studying psychology but have yet to study dreams. Hell. THey can't really be explained at all. XD

It was just a static image, rather than an actual dream.
Dreams are difficult to "explain", I think a number of factors influence them. Interpretations are more to do with personal meaning of symbols, what's gone on in your day, maybe some archetypal stuff. Shrug. Carl Jung's "man and his symbols" was very interesting.
I keep having dreams of talking horses lately.

Yeah, Carl Jung's work is interesting to me too. =>

Static image hm? Well, you are right. Meanings are highly subective, and the rest.... nobody is sure.

Talking horses? Odd. XD Better than my psychadelic "things you see when you squeeze your eyes shut" dreams.

Iconic dream images have a lot of impact... what was going through your mind at the time?

Nothing really. I was drifting off to sleep and got a really vivid image of a building that looked like that. I get that a lot.

That's rather powerful, I'd say.

"Well it looks like path to heaven, but it feels like the road to hell..."

I dunno, that lyric came to mind looking at it. Some pretty ominous imagery on this with that fortress entrance and the foggy hue...

Hmm... nice place... il come visit ya !

On a more serious note , i really like the atmosphere, and I love Zara's posture and steamlinyness somehow. honestly looks quite squishable and stretchable.

Squishabe, stretchable and bouncy. Roll it up like a ball and see how far it will bounce off the nearest wall.

Cool, such places as this demand good company

Quite an interesting image, voces some questions about what lies beyind the gates; something dark and ominous, or benevolent but faded.

Oh my, that is shiny. :3
Damn, now this image is going to be stuck in my head and I'm going to see it in my next dreams. XD

I'd love to actually dream about some place like this!

I am glad it is shiny enough to latch onto your brain and stick there for a bit xD Thank you.

My dreams get both weird, as well as amazing. Though far too randomly, I must admit.
I did dream about this, reminded me of some of the cinematography and scenery in movies like LOTR, and Gladiator. Was beautiful, in a barren wasteland kinda way. <3

Wow, really? O_o Are your dreams easily influenced by what you see?
My dreams are generally pretty random and dull, with occasional interesting recurring themes. Last night I dreamed of a large house, with a hidden, derelict room in it, that could only be accessed through one window in another room.
Buildings are one of those common themes.

Yus! :3
More than I consciously notice. It seems that my subconscious likes to lock onto things I see that I like, things that are memorable, and tries to recreate them in my dreams. Noticed this many times with traveling by car, in areas that a couple days or a week later I'll randomly end up dreaming about flying over that area.
I usually have higher chance of dreaming about dragons, too, after watching a movie with dragons in it. Less so with dragon art sadly, though, because I see so much of it.
I think the movie Inception gives good emphasis on that, too; buildings being very common themes in dreams. God, I love that movie. X3

Your dreams sound awesome. I will notice themes from every day stuff pop up frequently, but it's usually pretty mundane stuff I otherwise don't give much mind to. I'd love to have more dragon dreams, but dragons these days seem pretty confined to my waking life. I wonder if perhaps I've familiarised myself with it so much in real life, that it's had that effect too.
Though I did dream of an alien queen in a plant store last night o_O That was super random.

My dreams help to keep me sane. X3
I'd be totally lost if they weren't so good, or I couldn't remember so much detail of them. Though I do admit, much of my dreams I really shouldn't describe out loud, because it'll just come out as a mix of dragony sitcoms, drama, and porn. Hah. XD

... And wow, that does sound like a super random dream!

Quite imposing...once certainly wonders what's inside!

It reminds me of a dimensional portal that is activated once the main doors open. These look like they would only open if the person entering them approached with the correct state of mind. Once through the door the individual could be transported to the next dimension above the one they are currently in. From it's design it looks like it only transports one way.

My second guess would be that it is the new design for an entrance to Euro Disney.

Nice image regardless.

I think I like the first explanation best. Lol :|

I'm glad you like it :D

I'm guessing it's powered by lightning.

And it looks like maybe a storms brewing.
