#308: Vague surrealism

What you can remember of a recent, or memorable, dream, recorded as art.

Oil on canvas.  In the dark corner of a bedroom, an alien with an elephant’s head, holding a ray gun, the end of which looks like a large light, stands still on a square plinth in front of two cupboards at right angles to one another.  It is on guard, ready to shoot anything that moves.  In the foreground, a child is awake in bed, keeping absolutely still and rigid, a look of fear on their face.  On the floor is a book.
