Interesting body of work. Dreams are prophetic in nature in relation to someone’s life. It is intriguing seeing these images and knowing the meaning of your dreams – it comments interestingly on your life.
I particularly find the dream shot of the man with the lantern balloons rather telling.

Amazing, inspiring work Mr. Goldman. Thanks for posting-I’m out of the doldrums now!
Thanks for the kind words Stephen!
All of your art is wonderful. I believe “We are Made for Each Other” speaks to me the loudest. What I see is two selfish people. They give little in a relationship. They choose low maintenance partners. Though their dress is incompatible, their desires for a shallow relationship is what makes them made for each other. It’s a sad existence for these two. They won’t experience the deep happiness only experienced when one heart truly gives all to another, keeping focus on pleasing one another over themselves.
Hi Susan! It always amazed me the different interpretations people have for these images, its quite wonderful. Thank you for sharing your thoughts! glad you liked em!
Wonderful insight, stirs the mind. Congrats!
Are they recurring dreams, or the same dream image interpreted differently?
i see two people feeding each others minds and spirits!
I had the same dream about the cameras replacing heads (2nd to the last). I’ve been meaning to recreate it for a while now. Thank you for the inspiration and the accidental reminder. I love your work!
Really beautiful work here Ronen. I can’t wait to see what’s next in the future of this project.

Wow. Love these. What a wonderful way to express dreams.
your last picture puzzles me. what does it mean?
Great photos
I like the man with the umbrella fending off green apples. It reminds me of Magritte’s “The Son of a Man”, but in this case… the man is refusing to allow his face to be hidden by life’s masks.
reminds me of the song wish you were here by pink floyd

There are many skills one needs to acquire to become a good photographer- knowledge of composition, exposure, focal length, understanding timing and human behavior. But I have come to realize, that perhaps the MOST important skill of all is knowing how to choose which photos to show others. Choosing the absolute best ‘take’ of…
Ronen, I just came across your work and there are no words! Your work is amazing and that is a true understatement. I can’t stop looking at the images. I am awestruck, moved, scared, all of the above! I too love photography and can only hope to aspire to your level of talent and creativity. What I think is even more lovely is how open and willing to share you are. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
