Falling Dream

Don't you just hate falling dreams? I know Mallory does.

This drawing began as a doodle in Japanese class, but quickly grew from there. It's a scene from a story I'm working on that involves lots of dreams and their meanings. According to "Understanding Dreams: A Concise Guide to Dream Symbols," falling down a hole is a sign of fear of disappointment in life or that the dreamer will fail to face up to a series of problems. Quite fitting for Mallory, in more ways then one.

I wanted the picture to look like something you might see in a dream, so I did a lot of experimenting with layers and filters in PS7. I think it works, and I hope you guys like it, too. ^_^
