This work is my interpretation of the 1944 work by Salvador Dalí: Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee Around a Pomegranate a Second Before Awakening. 

In my rendition, the woman is not about to wake up from her dream. In fact, the whole scenario depicted by Dalí seems to be reality. Some time has passed since his depiction of the dreamscape in broad daylight. I've depicted the scenario some hours later, the sun has set and the moon has risen. The woman is not alive anymore due to the rifle sho0ting her in the stomach. The tigers weren't a figment of her imagination, they're still roaming around, watching over her physical form in a protective manner. Some traces of the fatal afternoon still are left, she dropped the pomegranate (signifier of o.a. ressuraction and virtility), symbolizing that what no longer is or can be. Time will pass, and those traces too, will vanish from the scene.
