So often dreams are drawn.
Perhaps it's because dreams are separate from reality and photography is associated with reality. So illustrations are to dreams what photographs are to reality. Following this logic if you wanted an image that depicted turning your dreams into a reality it makes sense to use photorealistic illustrations.
Which brings us to Frantz Kantor's illustrations below commissioned by Foster's for their latest campaign for Carlton Dry which went live this month.

Most recently, contemporary heroes of the comic scene Neil Gaiman and Paul Pope drew up their visions in Sandman and Psychenaut, respectively. But it was arguably Winsor McCay's comic strip, Rarebit Fiend that set the benchmark for all artists in 1904. Rarebit Fiend got it's name from the fact that in each strip the protagonist awoke at the end from a strange dream which they blamed on having eaten a Welsh rarebit the night before. A Welsh rarebit is the richest version of cheese on toast and hence believed to provoke the most lucid of dreams.
