Dream Illustration Series
“Step into Monggie's dream-filled universe where each illustration invites you to explore the hidden corners of the mind. These dreamscapes reflect Monggie's emotional journey—guiding you through the soft, surreal, and sometimes unsettling moments of the subconscious. From colorful reflections of emotions to the intense turbulence of falling or the mysterious force of fire, Monggie's dreams are a reflection of our inner world waiting to be understood.1. Dreaming in ColorEvery dream holds a story, a reflection of emotions, wishes, and fears waiting to be explored. Let Monggie guide you through the magic of your inner self.2. Falling Dream"I was standing on the edge of something… maybe a rooftop, maybe a cloud. The ground crumbled beneath me… and suddenly… I was falling… The wind roared past my ears… my heart stopped for a second… I never hit the ground… Just an endless drop… until I woke up.”This dream captures the feeling of losing control, the freefalling sensation that haunts our sleep. As Monggie drifts through this endless descent, you’re invited to reflect on the uncertainty we often face in our waking lives.3. Fire Dream"I opened my eyes to a grand, fancy restaurant. It felt like I was with someone… We walked to our seats… Then a fire, a fire suddenly burnt out, smoke curling into the air. People scrambled, searching for an exit, fear gripping their faces. Yet, I felt nothing. No fear. No urgency. I stepped forward, staring into the dying embers… as if I was the fire itself…”In this dream, fire symbolizes both destruction and transformation. Monggie stands amidst the chaos, unaffected, embracing the calm within the storm. It’s a reminder that sometimes, in the face of turmoil, we can find our inner peace.”
