Major Project - Final Lighting and Sky.

For my portrayal of the "Dreamscape" environment my desire was to create an environment that was to feel surreal in its scale, by that I meant almost the idea of standing in a void that never ends. But I also wanted a blue sky and a sense of being grounded, so I have set up this skydome so that it appears you're almost standing on a cloud line (think when you're flying on a plane and look down on the cloud line below you and how it almost looks like a snowy ground)

I also added a ShadowMatte plane for my floor level as to achieve the shadows on a surface that cleanly transitions between sky and ground, blurring the perception of when one ends and the other begins.

I've included some test renders to give an idea.
