With my kind and beloved lady posing as an unintentional model. It was she who introduced me to the works of Arthur Schnitzler, and among them his Traumnovelle (in English: ‘Dream Story’, in Italian: ‘Doppio Sogno’, literally translated into English as ‘Double Dream’, hence the title of this post).

Taken in Ulm, Germany, last August.

OMG ... I love your eye. I would have bent over backwards in an attempt to eliminate the background highlights ... thinking those highlights would be distracting ... but in realty, in the final image ... those distracting background highlights add so much abstract content which in-turn ... elevates this image into a dream within a dream. I look at photography as a documentary medium ... I need to expand my vision.

@Gary Ayala, I'm glad that you perfectly understood my intent when I left the details in the background. I feel like a documentary photographer too - and there's nothing wrong with that - I just get carried away sometimes. Thank you for your kind comment.
 
I was thinking about the background being the combined dream of the two subjects. The whole image transcends documentary photography, to become instead a Surrealist classic image. Congratulations, Gianluca!
