 I had no intention of entering this challenge, but when I witnessed this incredible sunset, I couldn't help but say to myself -- this is like a dream! Hey, there is a challenge going on just on that topic right now!

This was surreal to experience...

Beautiful - just beautiful. You managed to shoehorn this into the challenge but I think it was worth it! Great stuff.

Lovely colors here. I can see the clouds here being used as a background for dream sequences in movies or in a double exposed shot.

Great sunset colours, beautiful symetry. You probably intended the centred horizon, but I bet it would have looked more dramatic if you had positioned it below or above the centre IMO. No points taken off though. It's still nice to look at.

Pretty nice. Would like to see the rule of thirds which would have cut off some of the bottom nothingness. Love the colors!

This is absoutly stunning. I don't know how it relates to a dream that much, but the sheer awesomeness of this shot overrides all of that. WOW. I'm speechless.

That is an absolutely gorgeous shot. I can see it in light of what you are saying but at the same time I see just a gorgeous sunset. The clouds do hint at a dragon...

Wow, what an amazing sunset. In almost any challenge, a 10. But this seems a bit shoehorned into this challenge. So, score: 7
