"I Dreamed There Was This Mountain" by Brian K Raynor


I dream a lot when I sleep (I daydream a lot when I'm awake). Dreams are usually very vivid. Here lately, perhaps due to the change in the weather or my eating habits, I am dreaming more and remembering more. I wake up at least five times a night because something is so frightening or too funny or very cold or way too intense or whatever that I can't help but wake up.

I painted "I Dreamed There Was This Mountain" a couple years ago after I dreamed there was this mountain that rose up from this water. Every surface seemed to have an almost silvery iridescent sheen. Surreal and calm and strangely beautiful. Nothing happened; I just happened upon it.
