This is a beautiful painting by Dante Rossetti.  It is described as a woman of unattainable beauty, who lives not in the real world, but sits aloft in a tree.  She has a book in her lap, but her unfocused eyes prefer the wanderings of her mind to the certainties of the written word. (Sister Wendy Beckett) I think the painting is beautiful and am trying to order poster on-line, but have never ordered anything before.  Hope others enjoy painting as well.

Wow, I loved the moon.  Any more paintings anyone knows of that are related to dreaming, dream-like states, dreaminess.   I love that these are both positive, gorgeous and beguiling.

So nice. You may check also Alfons Mucha's paintings. Not exactly about dreaming, but they have the mood. Especially the Moon, even wanted to have this lady as my avatar.
