Illustration: Mother and Child, Starry Night, Ritter, Lucie Marcus, circa 1940, From the collection of: Leo Baeck Institute, Center for Jewish History
The Mother and Child is a painting many of us can relate to. It depicts the innocents of a mother sending her child into dream land. The stories of sugar plums and sheep dancing run through my head.
Starry Night, Edvard Munch, 1922/1924, From the collection of: The Munch Museum, Oslo
Starry Night that was painted by Edvard Munch is quite unusual. The stars in the sky and blending with the clouds to look very mysterious. From the doorstep to the hills, everything has a uneasy feel.
Starry Night, Vincent van Gogh, 1888, From the collection of: Musée d’Orsay, Paris
The Starry Night shows how magical the lights make the dark sky. The romance is felt as we watch the couple make their way across the landscape. The reflections off the water are truly elegant.

The Yanjirlpirri enlightens us with lights in the sky. The image appears to showcase fireworks in the night sky. These light could represent other light patterns that may go unexplainable.

The Scream, Edvard Munch, 1910, From the collection of: The Munch Museum, Oslo
The scream has many representations of what the painting is about. I can see someone suffering from insomnia as they are unaware of what is real and was isn't.
Vampire, Edvard Munch, 1895, From the collection of: The Munch Museum, Oslo
The Vampire painting captures how dangerous the night can be. The colors used so symbolic repensentation of a man spewing blood from a mysterious being at night.

The Night of Forebeing is the ultimate dreamscape that show elegant beauty of being able to soar to and from where we please above the sea of sleeping souls.
