How good are you at fully remembering details when you are asleep? I myself remember only vague things and my mind tends to make up details to fit all the pieces together. As such my memory is often mostly my waking imaginings instead of what I may or may not have actually seen in my dream.

I remember every thing in my dreams as I am quite skilled in the practice of lucid dreaming.
As for me, I rarely remember any of my dreams. I often go several months between dream events I actually remember when I wake up. Sleep for me is, usually, just that time when I stop existing for a few hours. In fact I can count the dreams I actually remember from the past year on one hand.

Oh well, the waking world is a lot more interesting anyway. Being real helps :D.

Basically this is all dreaming is:

When I have dreams about places that I've been before, they're always really weird and stylized essentially becoming more of what I'd like them to be than what they actually are. Sometimes to the point of defying feasible reality.

For example, I dreamed that I could see the skyline of a huge city in the distance near my house. My house is the middle of nowhere and for the buildings to appear as big as they did and at the distance which I percieved them to be, they would need to be at least twelve miles tall and half a mile wide.
I sure have been posting a lot of those xkcd comics lately... Stop making threads where they apply so readily!

I did some more computer generated art work today, some a little better.

That's a close-up?

You should try to adding some texture detail to, well, just about everything. Perhaps some gloss to show that the keys are plastic, and a less shiny one for the case. I think you should make its stand a little more complex in shape. Looks pretty good otherwise. I like the window (even though adding a reflection, I'm guessing, was a relatively simple function).

I took a 3D class and had some fun with it, but I didn't have the talent or take the time to make anything impressive.

Are you kidding me?
I figured the link you gave was the biggest picture, not a link to the thumbnail. Looks like there's a few aliasing issues as well.
Everyone else can fear me.....

These are 2 photo manipulations I did currently making the ranks at deviant art.com. Remember before you criticize that "art is anything that brings out emotion." ~ devinci

I also almost never remember my dreams... I sleep deeply. I often sleep through alarm clocks too. And by that I mean "get up, turn it/them off, get back into bed, and remember nothing whenever it is I wake up.". :)

I virtually never wake up to the sound of my alarm clocks going off, and I have three of them and usually have two of them on...
"My other side" is not my best work the photo I took was horrible. Just the same what do you people think of that one and "werewolf having a bad day" which everyone on deviant art loved?

I can appreciate the development of your werewolf craft and all that, but could you take that massive thing out of your sig?

I had a dream about zombies taking over the Earth this afternoon. It was going along the lines of Dawn of the Dead... only we were on a bus, and people were changing on the bus, and outside, and... it was cool.
