A Dreamed of You (Dancing in the Shallows)

Imagine, if you will, someone that you love dearly, dancing for joy in the shallow waters of a beautiful lake. Imagine their feeling of freedom as they send splashes of water outward with every movement. Imagine, then, that this is a dream of theirs. Picture them sleeping soundly, dreaming of the shallows. And now realize that it is you who are dreaming of them. When listening to this piece, try and discern the borders between the shallows, their dream, and your own. The goal of my composition is to blur this distinction. Our own joy resides within the dreams of the ones we love.
