Dream deploys Nakazawa's characteristic fusion of etching and metal leaf to construct an image hovering between waking perception and interior vision. The intaglio ground likely carries soft, blurred passages produced through aquatint or roulette work, giving the surface an atmospheric, tonally variable quality distinct from the sharper definition of line etching. Metal leaf — the specific alloy unspecified, suggesting silver or aluminum for a cooler luminosity — punctuates or overlays the etched field in a way that does not so much illustrate dreaming as embody its logic: surfaces partly revealed, partly obscured, familiar forms destabilized by reflective interruption. Calligraphic traces within the composition resist full legibility, functioning as fragments of meaning held just beyond waking comprehension.
