Nightmares and Night Terrors
A collection of works based on what haunts your dreams
A collection of works based on what haunts your dreams
The nightmare series is a collection of colored pencil drawings based on nightmares submitted to me through various channels (most notably from the users of www.reddit.com/r/nosleep). Each image will be accompanied by the associated dream text it was based from.

"A room with a coating of various sized spiders on the ceiling, many dropping on ther web to land on me. A large man blocks the door so that I can't exit."

"I was on a dirty subway train, when it stops abruptly and the door opens. The door opened into nothingness, like
we were just floating through space and time, and a man walks in wearing something like this [link to image of
plague mask] only it was much more modern... it was made of metal, it had all sorts of hoses and plugs coming
out of it, then he just sat down on the train, the door closes and the train keeps moving.
I don't remember why it was a nightmare specifically, I don't remember being in any immediate danger, but there
was just some sort of horrible feeling of dread the whole time."

"I used to have a dream that featured a man in a business suit, who had what I would describe as "a living, devil
kabuki mask" as his face.
I'm running down a narrow corridor that has a door every so often. The stretches of corridor between doors
varies from extremely long to fairly short. I'm chasing this man in a business suit and I don't know what he looks
like. Finally, I give it my all and manage to catch up with him.
I put my hand on his shoulder and spin him around. That's when I notice his face. It looked quite a bit like this ,
but with a snake crawling out of his mouth and around his head. It wasn't a mask either - it was actually his face.
His appearance frightened me so terribly that, in the dream I recognized that I was dreaming and said to him:
"This is my dream, and I control what happens." He grinned and said to me, very matter-of-factly: "This may be
your dream - but you don't control it."
