The Dream, which was created in the same year as his death (1910), was the last piece that was debuted by Rousseau before his untimely death a few months later. The exotic as well as the ordinary is what the piece brought together, creating a fun, unique, and distinguished piece that had not yet been seen in the art world. The jungle and the couch was something that was extremely distinguished, and something that did not fit together but, when included in the image, worked together very well. The two forms of juxtaposition not only intrigue the mind but also create a unique and distinct idea. Working separately, this would never go together, but when put in one image, they came together very well.
Those who loved and understood The Dream not only admired it but called it Rousseau's greatest piece and the perfect end to his career. Although there were mixed reactions and many negative reviews of the painting, it is truly one of the most distinguished art pieces created by the painter. The out of place woman and the couch fit in well in the fabricated dream-like world of the painting. It truly stands apart from many other works that were produced by Rousseau and several other artists.
