The Rules
You must be a supporter or dream-like artist, specializing in fantasy, macabre/horror, or surreal art.
You must send us a note stating your wish to join us, with a link to one of your dream-like works of art. Also state whether your a Day-Dreamer (Fantasy Art), Night Dreamer (Surreal Art), or a Nightmare (Macabre/Horror/Dark Art). The link you send is just an example and won't be submitted unless you request it to be upon approval.
When applying, please put our icon in your journal and add us to your dev watch, and in return (when accepted) we will watch you as well.
I have the right to not submit works that don't fit the topic, and not accept members who don't fit in to the group based on their art styles.
Voting is only open to group members so the voting stays fair.
I have the right to not accept members if I feel their art doesn't reflect the groups topic. Please do not assume you are a member just because you sent a note to apply. If you do not get a welcome note back, I probably didn't feel your art work fit into the group. The same goes with members submitting deviations, some I may feel don't reflect dreams and nightmares, I may not submit.
No arguing or giving me a hard time. I work very hard and the last I need is people giving me crap just because I made a mistake or there was a misunderstanding. I AM NOT PERFECT!!! On the other hand, I am very open to advice or opinions. Use your own judgement to what is right or wrong.

Submission Process
When submitting your art work to us, please send a small description that explains why your piece reflects a dream. Maybe it's something you've dreamed about in the past, a reoccurring dream, a daydream or a nightmare. Tell us about it! It's not a requirement, but it would be something cool to read to go along with your amazing art!
Please remember the rules of submitting only one deviation per note, and one submission per artist per week. Remember to chose your best works that go into the dreams & nightmares topic. I only must enforce this rule now because the group is getting very large. Please try to keep track of when you have submitted. Our submission week is from Monday to Sunday.

Our latest contest, MAN (and/or woman) AND MACHINE, has ended.
Congratulations go out to =Rickbw1 for placing first with his entry.



Congratulations also go out to *f-Stopped for placing second and to ~gece for placing third.



Because =Rickbw1 has been a featured member before, he will nominate a member of the group to be our featured artist for the month of May. He has chosen *MaureenOlder as this month's featured member so a big congrats go out to her. She will have a feature in the Featured Members Archive and have the featured deviation for the month.
Thank you to everyone who participated.

In addition to being the featured deviant, the winner of this contest will have their deviation used as the group's ID. If anyone is interested in donating a prize to the winner of this contest please let me know (whether it be a journal feature, subscription, print, etc).

Prize donation list:

=LucindaNy will be donating a journal feature to the top three winners.

We have a monthly contest always going, so no matter when you join, you can either partake in the contest, or the voting process. The information and entries for each contest will appear in this section.
All contests have prizes. For each contest, the members will vote on their choice for a winner. The winner is that month's featured member, gets a featured deviation for a month, and gets to chose the next contest topic.

The winner of all our contests become featured members.
