My Springfield Mommy: Zen Doodle Dreamscapes by Carolyn Scrace

Dreams can tell you a lot about a person, typically, certain imagery pops up into our dreams if we have strong feelings about a certain part of our life. Most people brush off the imagery that you find in these dreams as "just a dream", but some people notice them, and they tend to stick with you until you pay attention to them, and face them. A few people chose to use art as their outlet for their dreams, a lot of times when I feel compelled to draw, its because an image sticks with me after viewing it. It doesn't always come to me in a dream, but that same feeling, of the image almost hovering over you, is felt in both instances. If you are prone to an artistic outlet, you might have trouble knowing exactly how to express these feeling and dreams. Barron's books has a book that can help you read into your dream and portray it in the way you want. Zen Doodle Dreamscapes by Carolyn Scrace.

Zen Doodle Dreamscapes will help you unlock your unconscious feelings and express yourself in a relaxing way that might teach you a little bit about yourself along the way. The book features eight chapters and begins with the easy stuff, the tools you will need, and some art insight like how colors that clash and colors that are harmonious, and how both are a good thing. The book will also teach you about how artists typically use each color, for example, the color red is typically used to express love and passion, but may also symbolize anger, and violence. The book goes on to touch on all of the typical dreams one will have, and the ways to express each. The flying dream, dreams of falling, and dreams of chasing. The book gives you common color schemes of each type of dream and shows you different imagery that is used for them.
