Description In that dream even the boy was dark... And those two beast were scared to come closer or harm him. Hm. A strange dream. 

----------------------------------
UPDATE

Ok, I found some time to tell you a little bit more about this dream.

 

The dream took place in my hometown. However, the air of that place was quite odd… As you can see on the drawing, it looked like under the water. And buildings looked rather abandoned long time ago. I can say that the whole place was dead; there, surely, were many and many creatures around, but they were all dark.

I can’t recall the beginning anymore since I had this dream a couple of months ago. I just couldn’t finish it in time or write down details, so, yeah… Took so long to finally show it. What I remember was this boy.

I knew that the place was dangerous and that I had to be maximum cautious out there. At some point, I saw this boy just sitting in the middle of the street either playing with something or just staring at the ground… I couldn’t understand. My initial instinct was to grab him as fast as possible and find a safe place because I could feel the presence of some hunting creatures just nearby. Any moment they would show up.

… But when I approached him… His skin, hair, and clothes were all covered in ash (or was he made from it?) He looked indifferently at me and ask me something like “why are you not running away?” I told him that it wasn’t safe to be there and that I was going to take him with me. He looked surprised for a moment and then smile. He told me that the only person in danger was me.

Meanwhile, I saw how two massive werewolves (or whoever were those monsters) appeared between buildings, noticed us, and run toward us.

It was late to run now and not so much point. I thought that I would stay to the end and try to fight them or something… I wanted to protect that kid. But to my surprise, the kid stood up and made a few steps toward the werewolves, which stopped as fast as they almost reached him. They started growling and walking in half circles, but never coming close. They looked confused and indecisive… and scared. I thought that they were trying to provoke that kid to do something, but he was just standing like a statue. In a few moments later, both werewolves run away.

 I knew that they would return for sure. Now I finally grabbed that kid and hid in one of the buildings nearby. The kid asked me why I was trying to take care of him. And he said that I couldn’t actually hide anywhere there. He looked still passive and indifferent like a puppet. I told him “because you’re a small kid” and he said “Nobody was taking care of me for centuries. I don’t need it. You have to be from a different place.” He became very curious and he touched my hair and then my hand.

But what the hell was this boy?  At this point, I realized that this kid was way worth than those other two creatures, yet not aggressive. He was cold as ice and his eyes were pitch black. He was dark himself. He pointed out that my hand felt warm to a touch and that it was odd for him. “I’ve never seen a bright so close”. And he said that he couldn’t understand my concern and sudden attachment, but it was something new and entertaining. And for that reason he was fine not to harm me.    Then he explained where the safe path to an exit from this place was.

I left him in peace and took the path he had mentioned. I found myself in a different dream.

Is it weird that my first thought was, "Puppies! >v<"?

This is astonishing. I love the detail and the dream background adds even more to it.

Chilling scene. Those creatures are extremely frightening. They look like they are never not hungry.
Dream story's more chilling still.

*Warning for looong comment*

First of all how on earth are you not a professional illustrator? Bet it's because of this F-ed up society, for your artistic talents would definitely warrant a bright career. Curious about what software etc you're using, will try to find out from your journals. Great details, very consistent vision, simply fantastic everything!

Will try to approach it from an analytical standpoint. The boy is representing the classic inner child, however with a twist that "it" has an old soul inside. Possibly has been around for millions of years.
The necro-wolves = fear from aggression and death, general negative emotions. I think they don't wish to kill the child, they rather feel a dark kind of kinship and are drawn to him. The boy could be the owner, maybe even their creator but the wolves don't realize that since they are wild animals.
He didn't harm you for a similar reason, he is part of you. Doesn't necessarily mean he likes you, seeing from his playfully threatening manner. Immediately thought of the skateboard kid from IT, I'm guessing you know what I mean?
From a scientific, academic view (my bastion to not go mad) see the "All boundaries are conventions" quote from Cloud Atlas. There's a video on YT, has sex scenes too so rather don't link it. That theory has an actual real life connection, relating to - simplified - quarks and we're made of star material. I'm pretty sure the string theory is relevant to this as well.
It's much better explained in one episode of Through The Wormhole, will try to find it. They combine space and matter with dreams and souls, was a real eye opener for me.
Found it, season 2 episode 1 - "Is There Life After Death" * The exact scene I was on about is here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBoDsy…

And now I'll stop before falling too deep - that's the main reason I don't intend to train for lucid dreaming, my instinct tells me I would well and properly go bonkers.

Gonna describe one I had a while ago, was more chaotic and blurry of course with 0 control. Hunting a dark-brown hairy demon, sort of looked like a sylvan from The Witcher 3. The environment, the forest was foggy horror movie cliche. Had a shotgun/rifle, stalking behind trees following the monster. Suddenly he seemed to notice me, and charged. From nowhere another demon appeared somewhere behind me, screeching. Panicking I started shooting at the fat one in front, which did absolutely F all. Like blank ammo, noise and nothing else. Then the one behind grabbed me and wrapped his long arms around, no escape. Later in the next scene - sudden cut inside a normal bathroom, tiled walls, tub etc - I saw it was a short skinny twisted creature. Started torturing me, cutting me into cubes like you would with a slab of beef or such. Fuzzy again, don't remember if it was painful or not. Dream over, some more sleep with no images and the memory only reappearing about 2 hours after waking.
Made the connection on what it means right away, not too complex but find it interesting enough to share with you.

Apologies for the slight derailment and writing a novel, felt like the right action Time to rest a bit
