THE RULES

You must be a supporter or dream-like artist, specializing in fantasy, macabre/horror, or surreal art.
When applying to join the group you must send a link to one of your dream-like works of art. Also state whether you're 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.
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 an acceptance 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 go to the Newest Deviations folder, click Submit to this folder and chose whether you are uploading a new or an existing deviation from your own gallery. Upon review the deviations will either be accepted or denied, as per the rules of this group.
Please remember the rules of submitting only one deviation per artist per week. Remember to chose your best works that go into the dreams & nightmares topic. Please try to keep track of when you have submitted. Our submission week is from Monday to Sunday. Only members are permitted to submit to the gallery.

As many of you are noticing, we are now a group!! I will continue to modify as I go along but for the most part we are fully operational. I thank you for your patience, and maybe the occasional cup of coffee, during this transition period.

If you were a member when we were a club you will still have to join this group but you will automatically be approved for membership. I ask that, when applying, you mention which type of dreamer you are. We had over 730 members and it will make life so much easier for me as everyone migrates to the new group.

Our latest contest A SPACE ODYSSEY was due to close in a couple days. Due to the group switchover the contest has been suspended until further notice. I apologize to the members who entered and will inform you when the contest resumes.

The winner of all our contests become featured members.

This month's featured member is ~NenoMistique!!
