I like your use of odd time signatures to imply disorientation.

Description
The game starts when the protagonist awakens in their dream. They have no recollection of who they were when they were awake, and they will forget everything about the dream when they wake up. The game follows them as they explore their dream world in an attempt to recover their lost memories and figure out who they were.
"Boat" - A track that plays in the background as the protagonist approaches the first city area of the game. The beginning arpeggio would loop for a bit, and then the section with the drums, bass, etc. would begin once the player gets close enough to the area.
"Anemone" - An ambient track that loops while the player explores a more remote and scenic area of the game.
"Janus" - A story focused track that plays at the end of the game, as the protagonist wakes up from their dream but also forgets everything that happened over its duration. This would be the only track in the game with only piano and no synths to reflect the major change in the story and the player's environment.
Everything was composed in Reaper.

How does it fit the theme?
I interpreted both the picture and word theme as something relating to dreams. The game I am making the soundtrack for takes place in a dream. The music reflects this by generally having a peaceful feeling (no strong tension or intense rhythm) while still feeling surreal or disorienting (odd time signatures or lack of consistent chord progression).
