Which 1944 Salvador Dalí painting shows a sleeping figure and a giant pomegranate?

Salvador Dalí’s 1944 painting of a sleeping figure and a giant pomegranate is Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee Around a Pomegranate a Second Before Awakening.

The scene shows a nude sleeping woman, identified with Gala, floating above a rock near the sea. A bee near a pomegranate appears to trigger a chain of dream images: a tiger, another tiger, and a rifle-bearing figure emerge in the composition.

Dalí used the title to suggest a precise instant between external stimulus and dream experience. The painting reflects his interest in interpreting dreams while maintaining a highly controlled, realistic technique.

It is often shortened informally to Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee, but the full title includes the pomegranate and the phrase “a second before awakening.”
