Dream of the Vivid Painting

// "How Does This Painting Make You Feel?" //In this dream I had, I was at a guy’s place, someone I don’t quite recognize but he seemed familiar. We continued talking till we went downstairs to the living room where there was a mahogany drawer. He showed me this painting (the one I painted) and asked me, “What do you feel when you see this painting?” The painting was so vivid; I could recognize in the dream that the painting had blue and red colors, the characters depicted, and the light that shined through the middle. I thought about how it was like time traveling, magical, and related to alchemy. Then, out of nowhere, a dark red bug with black Egyptian hieroglyphs came out of the mahogany drawer and went towards this large gold Egyptian treasure chest. The chest kept opening, sort of like the Matryoshka dolls/Russian dolls that decrease in size until eventually, the bug went inside the smallest chest.
