Unreal DM's 'Valley of Dreams' immediately opened my channel and I began writing along to his beautiful stems. This song is a "remix" of several dreams combined. But what does it mean? :)
I'd very much appreciate feedback on this mix -- treatment suggestions for parts, level adjustments, etc.
Standing on a precipice
All alone, feeling dizzy and off balance
A voice warns "this is treacherous"
But I roll my shoulders and grow wings unfolding all at once
I jump into freefall
The ground is coming at me
Full speed
It seems that I’m about to bleed
But then I pump my arms and kick my feet
For the whole world I’m fighting
Fearlessly
Against the pull of gravity
Then suddenly
I’m floating
In the valley of lost dreams
Weightlessly
I’m hovering
Above the valley of lost dreams
The ground becomes an ocean of blue-green
A pair of talons somehow curling out of both my feet
Soft butterflies caressing me, surround me
I soar between a mass fluttering of bright orange wings
We spiral into freefall
The water’s coming at me
Full speed
I look to see, I’ve just one wing
Now I’m kicking with my Talon feet
For the Monarchs I am fighting
Desperately
As they’re enveloped by the sea
Then magically
We’re swimming
In the valley of lost dreams
Buoyantly
In a deep clear stream
Through the valley of lost dreams
Suddenly I'm floating (in the valley)
Weightlessly I'm hovering (in the valley)
Magically I'm swimming (in the valley)
Buoyantly discovering
My dreams they are an answer
My dreams they are an answer
My dreams they are an answer
And the hope that I’m looking after
My dreams they are an answer
My dreams they are an answer
My dreams they are an answer
And the hope that I’m looking after
Dream
Dream
Dream

Loving the journey - the vivid imagery puts me in the air and into the water.
I like this type of story, kind of like TonyTenFingers' Dear, Wolf, Buffalo Dream, you switch parts and somehow it makes sense because it means something more.
I enjoyed this a lot, and I like how everything is set as it is :)

I don't have any feedback about "parts, level adjustments" or any of that but I could spend hours (livestream?) taking about the imagery in this one.

I'm not an expert at mixing and mastering, I just adjust the levels and eq until it intuitively sounds right, this sounds really well balanced to me, with great sounds and evocative storytelling.

My dreams tend to be weird remixes of realities and fiction - so your remixing of multiple dreams is really taking things to the next level!
Your writing and delivery continues to astound!
