my recurring childhood nightmare

as a kid i used to have a recurring nightmare that filled me with utter dread… there was no plot and i wasn’t even a “character” in it, it was just an abstract visual experience of a dark black metallic world that shape shifted and moved in alien ways the dream was most frequent as a kid, but after like a decade of not experiencing it, it happened again randomly one night then around 2019 i was visiting an art museum in fort worth texas and i saw a piece of art by Analia Saban that immediately captured the essence and vibe of the recurring nightmare — until then i had never experienced something in the real world that adequately even began to capture the dream i haven’t had the dream in years but i’m still actively trying to piece together enough visual media in an attempt to understand the dream better
