This picture is based on a dream I just had, one of the many were I end up dying -__<;

here's a synopsis of what happened in it anyway, feel free to interpret, I'd actually really love it if you guys would tell me what you think it means or discuss the own symbolism you see in it!:)

"In the dream I was chasing after someone, in battle I believe and also escaping from an area that had a humongous bear/slightly wolf looking creature. I fallowed them into this place filled with clear clean water only about a foot high. there were large boulders every once in a while that jutted out of the water but other than that it was pretty dark and sterile looking

I dodged a net that was thrown from out of nowhere at me easily and in the dream I knew that there must be some sort of other trap around there that had been set for me.

I looked around the nearest boulder and I stepped into a swarm of these white butterflies.(like the one in the picture)
I'm not sure exactly what they did to me or how but because of them I was quickly losing the ability to move.

I started walking back the way I had come and I called out to someone, I couldn't see what they looked like because they were just a silhouette off in the distance. I tried to tell them I couldn't move and it was cause of the butterflies but I could barely talk by then.

Within seconds I had slowly fallen and was now kneeling in the water, but couldn't keep my body from continuing to fall and become submerged. I took as deep a breath as I could and my head fell in the water too.

All I could see was the fine dirt bottom of the water and my arm out of my peripheral vision. and I could only hope that my companion would come and pull me out of the water, otherwise I would run out of air and drown. Which was quite pitiful considering If I wasn't paralyzed I could have just lifted my head up and been fine.

...and then I woke up."

Oh wow that looks absolutely amazing! :D

As for your dream ah it is very creepy although I can't quite make sense of it haha I probably would need more context information. Although sometimes I have dreams about drowning as well since I can't swim XD.

Thank you it took me a while to get the hand right :)

I don't really remember what had happened the day before I dreamt this, I think I might have been depressed though. I dunno why I have a lot of reoccurring nightmares with water in them considering I can swim just fine O_o it's weird.

thank you for taking the time to read through the dream too ^____^

White butterflies- something innocent will betray/harm you.
And, (according to AC), white butterflies are... well, I can't remember offhand, but white and yellow common butterflies are actually different genders. But I'm basing the gender part entirely on a video game and not in the books surrounding me.

Sihoulette: One of your friends will not (or won't) help you in a time of need, by merely watching you.

Beast(s): Dave wanting to take you to FurryCon. XDDDDDDD And you running away from him.

p.s. been trying to sketch out a good design for your request. I've got a version in my agenda planner that I like pretty well and will turn into the final pic.
