In my dream just a few moments ago I remember being conscious of the fact that it was a dream for just long enough to want to remember what the painting in it looked like. Melissa had created some art, I assume it was a form of painting, but I could be mistaken. Upon waking up it took a considerable amount of concentration to recall what I had “left a mental note” to remember from the dream. Once I realized it was the painting I could and still can vividly remember exactly what the art looked like. It was beautiful. I remember being slightly confused by it in the dream, but now that I am awake and thinking about it, it was perfectly normal and very easy to see what it was.
The piece of art was probably 3′x5′, maybe a little wider to fit the subject matter. It was, in essence, a big map of the continents. Each different continent had a different color set and was colored in strips that looked in the dream were confusing but now that I can think seemed to be the different temperatures accross the regions (North America was shades of green and South America was yellows, Antarctica was blues, Europe was purples, Africa was yellows, Russia was reds, and Australia was oranges. The part that made the artwork unique enough to catch my eye was the material/appearance of the colors. I don’t know what it was, but it was very reflective and possibly shiny. The oceans were shades of brown, so as not to take away from the luminescence of the continents.
I’m thinking about trying to do some sort of mock-up in photoshop, just to see if I can somehow recreate it to show others and to look at myself and see if it really was all I thought it was in the dream.
