We dream about places, people and circumstances. We don't dream in abstract or geometric patterns. So this is not an image from a dream, but rather a consideration of the state of dreaming.  It is about being unconscious, floating disconnected from our body, biological activity reduced, breathing and heart rate becalmed and steady, brain waves constant. This is an artist's depiction of dreaming without showing us dream images, or beds, darkness or even sleeping figures.
