Greetings from the Critique club
Ok, this is difficult to critique, There are two elements so I'll first comment on the image.
I'm afraid the image is not very good. After reading your description I can see what you were trying to do, I think. Giving the impression of movement to an object is difficult at best.
I'm assuming the brightness was an attempt to give it a dream like state. Possibly if you had done just that and not also tried to add movement it would have worked better.
It's better to not try and have multiple effects. There are some brighter than other areas spots, esp. on the face, that shouldn't be there.
Also using a stuffed animal rarely gets high marks. I also don't see how this one relates to the proverb.
RE: the text. There is too much of it for one thing. The Dreams is well done. Reversing the colours of the outline is a good technique.
The font at the bottom should be lighter. It's overpowering at this point. While it appears to be a similar family the fact that it is heavy causes it to appear to contrast. Japanese Proverb should be much smaller. And the proverb itself should probably be in quotes.
of course this is just my opinion.

| I like the black on white/white on black hollow text at the top. Overall, the image is too bright for my taste, and the focus on the monster too soft. |

Very nice work.
I like the font on Dreams.
I do not like the font at the bottom.
Japanese Proverb should have been smaller and in ( ) I think.
The image seems to be somewhat washed out a little with all the lighting.
Still very nice work and efort. |

| The photo does seem nightmarish, although unnecessarily washed out. It would be a bit zany by itself, but works in the context of the poster. Splitting the word "DREAMS" was a good idea, but white lines on a black background look thicker than the opposite, so top and bottom don't really match. |

| I get it. I think the text at the bottom is a little too strong, too large and distracting. |

| You are mixing too many different text styles for this to bee effective. The text on the top of the image is too much. It's heavy and half reversed. I am not sure about this motivationg me into anything else but running away from it. |
