In this work I put an answer to my children about parents. Their question was, “what did my deceased parents dream about?” In the later stages in their life the most important things for them were their chants, designs in their creativity, prayers and memories. They dreamed about who would take care of them, who would feed them, who would sing to them and who would walk them. They had their offspring who were taught well therefore no worries. Here the children are symbolized by the pain at the bottom half. The spiral is their dream in motion. The four stars are to hold the consciousness in the dimension. All this is on a bed of night floating in the universe.
