I've decided to try and portray my dreams in photographs.
Here is my first attempt:
"Out, damn'd spot!"
Villains never rest easy.
Would love feedback/thoughts/opinions.

Love the sig Nymph.
Interesting photo, but what were you dreaming of my dear?
The first thing that popped into my mind was dismembering a body. Then again, you know my mind is weird.
It does look like you might have some very interesting dreams.
Look forward to more.

Were you wearing the same thing?
I saw it briefly last night, but I can't see it now at work. Interesting image, Nymphitz. You didnt do multiple exposures, did you?

Nice
The flesh-tone has gotten a little muddy - maybe warm it up a tad and give it a bit more of a punch. Seriously liking the repeated hands/arms though

Thanks! It was part of the idea you triggered yesterday on Facebook... I've started a graphic comic. So I should be thanking you! Thanks Lady.
It is much easier to explain/understand as a photograph. I don't think I can sum it up with words very well... I'll let your minds spin on what played out in the dream.
About the shot:
The bizarre outfit/mask and haunting castings are meant to show a split personality; feeling of emotion.
The multiple layers of arms depicts a feeling of guilt. A treacherous act is never just once. The guilt makes it play out over, and over again.
Thanks for the suggestions SandRider and DunFish.

It's all the same shot. (With the exception of an arm placed in tub.)
I don't know where this photographic style has come from, it's a completely new look for me. I'm glad it is going over well.

Thought that might be where it came from. Glad to be of service.

Great pic. So how does this work, you make a picture out of a dream you had?

Initially that's how it started. The series has tangled stories of life, events and dreams all mushed together to reflect a question or thought. I hope that makes sense, it was a little difficult to put into words.
