Ah, I have dreams of this nature! More regarding politics than personal life, but either way this photo really resonates with me. Aside from any statement or challenge, this is hands down a beautiful photograph. Congratulations on making such a lovely photo.

If I were to offer any advice for improvement (which is really unnecessary and possibly impossible! heh) I would rethink the faded corners (what's the name of that technique? heh). I think it only adds to this photo as it's for a Dream challenge.

beautiful sky, I don't really care for the soft focus corners, but I realize you did this to create the drim effect. Nice image.

My top pick. Ilike the composition and tones. Even though I usually favor borders - I think the black on this one is a bit too thick!!!

The detail in the clouds is very dramatic. You've got great contrast between the tree and the sky. A lower horizon may make the image even more dramatic.

The cloudy fades in the bottom corners could have been more delicately done. This is a great image but they (the dreamy fades)seem to act as a bit of a distraction. Nice job otherwise and I like the border.
