Symbol in a Dream

i had this weird dream one night and in it i saw this strange symbol. luckily i drew it (the best i could) right after i woke up. it is intriging to me and i swear that its familiar somehow in someway. i scanned my drawing of it and spiced it up a little (also put my new learned jewel making skills to the test). i am not expecting a high c-index for this image. the reason i'm posting it is because since it technically can be considered artwork then i thought that maybe some of my fellow artists may have an idea as to what it may be or may mean, if anything. let me know what you think on this matter. thanks

note the quality got a little messed up while creating the file, but then again, im not concerned about the artistic quality or anything. just looking for some responses as to what u think it is or if uve seen it somewhere

it's definitely intriguing... the mind works in very curious and often confusing ways. one possibilty is that you 'saw' this somewhere..either online, or perhaps in your travels, and while you didn't consciously remember, your subconscious absorbed it...

Good luck in your explorations! The subconscious mind is amazing and mysterious! I have had dreams that the details are intricate and downright otherwordly...and always figure they are from some other life I may have lived....{or maybe I need to up my meds...:)

Looks like a lower case r in quotation marks to me (except the little ying yang bit). Or maybe something from here?

I have ruined (haha) a whole part of my life playing that Alchemy game that Samatar so nicely linked us to ..grrr...and, yes, I played it when I got there..lol. I think it could very well have come from that addicting game...almost as addicting as EverQuest, just not as expensive...lol...I like your "button" btw :)PJ ............p.s. so now I am addicted to the Caedes site, and by far it is the more quality addiction :)

It means 'toilet inside out of order please use yonder tree'. During the dream did you pee the bed?

Well....It looks to me like a Sigil. I suggest referring to the Greater Keys of Solomon or the Lesser Keys of Solomon. That's a start. Yes, It most definitely looks familiar. When you figure it out, let me know. Great artwork. :)

I like the comment one above mine. :) If I didn't know better, I'd say it's arabic. But it does look familiar... If nothing else, it's a lowercase "gamma" from Greek. NIce design, btw.

Actually, the symbol looks exactly like the letter d (though stylized) from tengwar--the script J.R.R. Tolkien came up with for his elvish languages. http://www.omniglot.com/writing/tengwar.htm
