A LUCID DREAM; the one where Picasso was a lion hunting after me. Painting

"A LUCID DREAM; the one where Picasso was a lion hunting after me." is one of the first paintings I made in 2019. Getting through the darkness into the light. Stretched on a high end museum quality aluminium frame. I usually stay away from commenting too much about the work in such a public display.. but in this case I'd like to throw in a bit of explanation in regards to the title. ********************* warning ******************** *it's a bit of a long story - and quite a dark dream* When I returned from showing at the Other Art Fair in New York and finally fell asleep in my own bed after travelling by plane and train through the Dutch landscape, I fell into a deep lucid dream. It started with the Dutch landscape I had just seen; cows grazing in the fields. As I was standing on the field looking at the cows; suddenly there was a dark brown lion amongst the cows. He was hunting them and it turned darker when he saw me. He came after me and right before he got to me, the lion shapeshifted into Picasso- or to be precise- the 'Boy Leading a Horse' person, out of the painting I had seen in the MOMA. I clearly identified him as Picasso himself.. and he wanted to strangle me. I pleaded with him to let me go, for I was a painter too. (this part I found quite amusing after waking up in horror, writing it down so I wouldn't forget) Being a painter did not matter much and when I was close to losing consciousness by his grip, a bright light entered. It was an angel coming to save me. The angel took my hands and placed it on Picasso's neck. Picasso then shrinked into the shape of a little boy. (this is the part where it turns really dark, and got me shook for quite some time..) I could sense the danger of the Lion Picasso turn smaller and smaller, I still had my hands around the little boys neck and before I knew it- I pressed really hard and felt the little boy collapsing. Then I woke up. What did it mean? Who was Picasso? and who was the little boy? Where they all versions of myself? Did I overcome a deep fear from the past? I'm still not sure. While I was painting this work, also at a place where I was working through some trauma- suddenly I "saw" it. I had painted the landscape and the grey shape on the right, I identified as Picasso in the shape of his "pigeon' paintings. And then there was a sense of release.. I killed the fear and was able to move on to the light.
