I did not actually draw this on paper beforehand. Rather, the style, and most of all; the actual progress of animating this is very reminicent of animations I used to do way back when during artschool. There is little preparation during the creation of them; no inbetweens added later, just animating on the fly and hope it flows well enough in the end. With your first like, this idea to just do the same thing here is what eventually got me back to the pc to just go and create like old. With no "real" concrete plan.
There was meant to be more, but alas, my concentration and imagination wasn't there this month; time was up. So this "maladaptive daydreamer" had to cut it short right in the middle and end it. There was also a charcoal section planned as well, with a black background and animated with white, where I only copied the previous frame and remove and add black as to mimic the adding and erasing of charcoal, leaving a barely visible trail of all previous frames. Still visible somewhat in the preview. You are spot on when it comes to it being about dreams/imagination ;)
Can't quite figure it out, it's pretty mysterious. Kind of feels like it's about transformation between two worlds, like representing reality in a drawing. Or maybe representing dreams/imagination, and the viewer doing the inverse process. Maybe it's just my bias though because I like those themes.
The pixel art detail at the end and the preview make me think of turning paper sketches to digital, but I just draw straight to digital so I can't really relate there 
Thank you so much Weerdmester! Love this pencil style you're doing, and the way the shapes and shadows shift around and the trees grow. Hope you'll update this soon so I can watch it again!
I'm blown away this was made without prior pencilwork. It's perfect; impossible to tell
