Thanks to all who commented for taking the time to share what you saw here. I saw figures but didn't want to bias anyone with a title. Dream #8 felt right.

Bob, I've photographed my oven before, but rest assured this isn't my freezer.

Ghosts fading from dreams into forgetfulness. Unrecognisable faces, unremembered scenes and distant landscapes. This image is the definition of dreaming. Title also conveys so much. Not that I number dreams but that all I can remember most of the time is that I had one.
Wonderful. Have a favourite.

I love the depth here. Ghostly and masterful.

I thought this was a spooky guy in a dark robe leading a chorus of other spooky guys in white-ish robes. I hope this doesn't get used as some psycho-analysis tool :D

A 3D dream in Black and White. Since I recognized some of the faces, this was my favorite of the challenge.

Spooky with interesting implied depth of field. First round score 10. Second look makes me pause to realize that the inside of my freezer sometimes looks like this. Will ignore that and leave score unchanged. NOt the typical content for high DPC scores, but the challenge topic isn't so typical either.

Looks like a painting. I can see ghosts. I can see a crowd. Nice piece of artwork. Thanks.

Pleasing to look at. This goes into the lobby of my dream gallery.

Beautifully done. It's remarkably convincing. The anthropomorphic shapes are perfectly judged, the darker mass at lower centre creates the distinct feeling of some kind of crowding cabal or coven, and the single figure rendered in negative to the right suggests that Dream #9 is not going to be much fun either. Thank you. My top pick.

This would have worked for the halloween challenge, lol. Your dream looks disturbing, or could be just algae on a wall. Nice job.

Wicked find, wondrous vision you have to see this. One of my favorites.

I have not been around DPC during quite a long time and I'm glad to see what I poorly call "different points of view", it's a large category which includes abstract art and deliberately grainy / soft focus / out of focus photos.

Unfortunately sometimes those photos mean nothing to me or I can't find any emotional link.
This is not the case but it's very difficult for me to explain why I like your photo so much. Maybe it's for what I imagine when I see it or some kind of magic connection.
Thank you.
