Dreams and such appear detailed because during a dream you don't really 'see' the picture as a whole similarly to how when you try and think of somebody's face, you don't really see the entire face, you remember the different components seperately such as the person's eye shape or hair colour or face shape. Thus, when you try to draw something you're imagaining, you'll try to draw the eye shape or hair colour or the components seperately, and often the whole shapes and essential features are warped, and so the shadows and details look warped.
