Book Of Dreams

The building in Book of Dreams is heavily textured with a mystical background in the arches. Mysterious words and letters appearing in the arches of the painting echo the significance of Joseph's interpretation of Pharaoh's dreams in the biblical narrative. Just as Joseph deciphered the symbolic language of Pharaoh's dreams, revealing the coming years of plenty and famine, the inscriptions in the arches reveal hidden truths or prophecies.

Book of Dreams has a companion painting, Building Blocks. Shown above, the two paintings hang on either side of a fireplace. On The Bones Of Our Ancestors, also by Reinike, is over the mantle.
