Making of Day 112/365 Close Encounters Dream and CONTEST!

My photo for Day 112 was based on a recurring dream that I started having after watching the movie "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" in 1977.  It was also influenced by another movie, "Fire in the Sky" from 1993.

Here is the completed image.

I originally was going to try using the glass globe in the space craft (which is more how it looks in my dream), but that didn't work out the way I wanted.

I hope you enjoyed looking at my image and seeing all of the images that went into it.  There will be more coming in the Dreams and Nightmares series for my 365 Project on flicker.  You can see my 365 Project images and more of my experimental images at http://flickr.com/photos/janesampsonphoto.
