Yes, I am dreaming...
This is one of the first few images taken using a recently acquired lens, an MF Vivitar 100mm f2.8 (non-macro).
Used Raynox DCR 250 for closeups and was happy except that without metering/exposure information it is slightly
difficult to set exposure manually. I'll be happy to receive comments/tips in using an MF lenses like these.

About this shot, yes I was randomly trying for macro shots of various flowers. And this shot was something special.
The pollen appeared emerging from a pool of dreamy bokeh and the contrasting colors of the pollen and the background
along with the creamy bokeh made this interesting to me. This is a hand-held shot as I was lazy to carry my tripod.
As I was trying to capture the pollen in focus, I was moving back and forth. Clicked the shutter as and when the pollen
were clear to me.

Very pleasing tonal ranges here Venu. Narrow dof works very well here. Thanks for sharing.

Venu, The image title is apt, this image really gives a dreamy feel. The depth of field and the mild shades adds to the pleasantness, love the different shades of pink.

Nice pastel shades and good use of light. Nice dreamy feeling :) with reality in sharp focus

I like the radiating lines from the center. Pleasing composition.

Venu at times handheld Macro is a blessing in disguise,your selection of the subject gets full marks,where the dream has come to reality.
Still i would suggest you to carry your Tripod and get better control on the subject.Hard work Pays.
