Christine - This feels like a work of art that you are creating deep within you. It expresses a process of your deep self, a deep process in your body and mind that you only are able to glimpse in your dream state.
I understand it to represent the slow separations of your male and female identity - a long struggle. You are can feel it, for the hands and feet are connected, but you cannot see it for you are both facing outward suggesting both expansion and pulling apart.
They are not alive yet and are largely outside of your awareness, but you might being life to them by imagining yourself first as one then the other and feeling and differences - switching backwards and forwards can often help.
