In a dream, waves convey feelings and knowledge about events that will occur in the future. The wave dream indicates your subconscious desires, feelings, and beliefs. Dreaming about waves can indicate an underlying clash between your rational side, environment, and your desires of the heart, soul, and inner self. In the piece, Dream Waves, the cover is a gentle flowing of rolling waves curling into themselves. Upon opening the box, the waves transform to a field of graphic forms reaching and waking up to the world.
