The angel image kind of gets the point across, but I feel we could do better than this.

My bet it that it was on Wikipedia. They always have images that have classical significance, but aren't exactly illustrative.

The "classicness" of the painting works against it. I thought it was an angel. Actually, maybe it's supposed to be an angel, but they're not popularly known for messing with dreams. I thought (s)he was messing with real life stuff, not dream images.

[up][up], LOL on the fact that [up][up][up] guessed correctly. tongue

Anyway, what about this?

Might need to crop onto the spider, though.

[up]If you interpret the rainbow thing coming from the spider as something else, that is.

I don't know why anyone would interpret it as a dream. Current's definitely better, but I'm sure we can find SOMETHING.

I really liked this one, but I'm not sure it gets the point across.

[up]It has to look good at Wiki size.

IE, the stuff in the weaved dream is hard to make out at Wiki size.

No, it's not. It looks just fine. The real concerns are image height and whether it gets the point across.

9 and 5 have both problems with the "dream" aspect to me.

[up]The surreal texture of the weaved item in 9 not giving you the clue?

That says it's mystical in some way, not necessarily dream. Definitely better than 5, though.

As long as we're talking about the page, I can't help but think the quote on the Quotes page from Gary Wright's "Dream Weaver" is more apropos than current pagequote from The Chrodettes' "Mr. Sandman" (which is isn't even about dreams; the "dream" they're singing about is pretty obviously a euphemism for an attractive man).

11 works well enough for me. I also agree that the current quote doesn't fit this trope well.

11 is great. That quote has got to go.

11 doesn't illustrate the dream part at all to me. The face in the weave suggests that it's mystical, sure, but not dreams.

That said, the trope is simple and straightforward enough (and the image is good looking enough) that I still think it's an improvement. A weak +1 from me.

What about this? It's a combined homage to The Sandman and What Dreams May Come.

Wouldn't say dream without the words, so I think it's weaker than one of the previous suggestions.

I was going to bring up this guy but I guess that's Dream Stealer.

Should put it on the Dream Stealer page, that needs an image.

Put that into Dream Stealer.
