Just a Dream

Postby Clementine Cloud » Thu Jan 05, 2017 2:40 pm

I have dreams where I have bird-like wings and the ability to fly pretty regularly, and its one of the most wonderful things to experience. I'd just be standing in my backyard looking up at one of the trees and then i'd just flap my wings until I got up there. If I got a running start it would be easier, and if I was close to whatever I wanted to get up to I would have to work harder to fly almost straight upward. Sometimes to make it easier I would fly up onto like a roof nearby and then go further up from there. Eventually I'd make my way high enough that I could soar, only flapping my wings every now and then. I'd tilt to the side to turn and I could even land pretty well. I could really feel these phantom wings moving, they sort of controlled like arms do but not quite the same.

I don't know if it's that I am like partially lucid dreaming during a lot of those times, or if I just daydream about it enough to the point that my nighttime dreams try to satisfy my wish. Either way, I consider myself pretty lucky in that I have these dreams relatively often, since many people rarely have flying dreams that they can remember at all. I also think its so interesting that In these dreams I have I actually have to work my way up into the air, I know some people just fly like superman in their flying dreams but I almost always have actual feathered wings and a tail.

So I just wanted to do a quick illustration of that c: (As far as I know/can remember the wings I have in my dreams are like an off-white almost cream color. But now that I think of it I don't think I've ever actually turned my head to look at them in my dreams, I think it was just something I always knew) But yeah, I think that's my greatest wish that couldn't actually come true.

I love how you not only added the wings, but the bird tail as well. Very creative and lovely color scheme~
