#dream reference

Finally updated Dream reference, last one was 3 years ago. Didn’t made many changes surprisingly, bigger one being the weapons, tiny bunny form and back to pointy ears because easier to draw tbh.

If I got time I will do a separate reference with different hairstyles and clothes.

I’m working on a Godfather Techno comic and I know a lot of people are liking my Technoblade design and I have these waiting soooooooooo I’m gonna start posting my refs that I made. When I was making them, I drew Dream and Techno’s design together since they both have one outfit. Techno got that anime pig look and I made dream a white blob because I’m not cursed enough for jelly Dream but not accepting that Dream is just a dude in a mask.

Anyway, enjoy! I’ll post the rest of the refs gradually

At the in between place, we realized we weren't the only team of operatives; there was at least a hundred of us all running through, we were the only ones who stopped. A guy approached us, I think he was our handler. He wore a suit and tie but I couldn't look up to see his face, I was eye level with his chest. He told us we had the highest success rate of all the teams, but we were the least secretive, so until they could think of a punishment we had to go on 'shore leave'. So instead of going through a portal, we just walked out of the mall.

The mall, along with what seemed like an entire huge city, was contained within an enormous warehouse, with windows on all sides and no door. I could see people walking outside them but only in silhouette. Looking at the windows, I realized something was off, and something was written in huge lettering across it. It said "SHE ISN'T GONE". Then when I looked again the writing was gone. One of my friends was convinced he had seen this before, and that we had to find another window with writing if we wanted to solve this mystery. So we ran through the city and looked at all the big windows. Some of them were for sale somehow since an auction was taking place (we were allowed to barge in since we were famous operatives here) but no writing was appearing. Then suddenly, we found a burned out vendor stall with the letter E written very small on the broken glass window, and I had a flashback.

The vendor cart once sold candy and little statues of animals, and had been painted bright yellow. When I walked up to it, the woman who ran it was arguing with a man in an all red suit who eventually stormed away. I really needed food and this was the cheapest place for it, but i still didn't have enough to buy the candy, and I told the woman I only had money coming in the next day. She just laughed and told me to keep the candy, pressed a dollar bill coated in black sparkly paint into my hand, and said I could take her on a date once I had money, to repay her. I was in love with her and her name was Bea.

Then I remembered why i was an operative. This warehouse was a secret society where people with odd powers could live safely. My friends, Bea, and me all lived here in relative obscurity. I don't know what my friends' powers were, nor my own, but I knew that Bea was supposed to have been immortal.

But she was murdered anyway, seven years prior. I wanted to find who killed her, so i became an operative.

Chase: Trouble coping with fears or facing reality

Falling: If the fall is enjoyable it means that you are not afraid of challenges. If the fall is scary then anxiety about something.

Flying: If struggling to fly it implies that you lack confidence. Scared of flying implies that you are trying to figure out life. More here

Losing Teeth: Stress levels in your waking life are very high. More here

Running: If running away then you are trying to escape a situation in real life. If running by yourself then you are looking for inner strength.

At some point everyone attempts a dream sequence. Here are some common characteristics of dreams (source) to help out: 

Dreams often feature intense emotions. The three most common are anxiety, fear, and surprise.

Dreams are frequently disorganized and illogical ie time travel, flying, transformations, sudden shifts in setting.

The reality of the dream is accepted within the dream. The weird and out of place seem normal in a dream. It's only upon waking and remembering that the dreamer finds the events odd or difficult to explain.

Dreams contain strange sensory experiences. Falling, unable to move or see, unable to control body are all hallmarks of dreams.
