Have you tried the resources section on this site?

 

[Lexie1001]

yeah...there was nothing on either.

I couldn't find anything on the resources section either...

But, searching Google for ya, I found:-

for 'One Second Before Awakening from a Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee':
http://www.3d-dali.com/Tour/dream.htm (doesn't seem too great to me)
http://www.3d-dali.com/dali_paintings_analysis_interpretation.htm (couldn't find your specific one, but there was heaps of others... including one called "The Great Masturbator" )
http://www.empireonline.co.uk/forum/tm.asp?m=88261 (a forum for art, read through the posts - I just saw Salvador Dali )

Just go through Google. Google can be a pretty good friend.

What exactly did you punch into Google? Perhaps you need to refine your search...

oh i just put in the name of the painting in "..." and then tried various terms after that like study, help, information, background etc. probably should be more specific. ah well maybe i should analyse it myself for a change!

Lol! Here's some tips:
~ putting stuff inside "---" means that Google searches for that, and EXACTLY that. Perhaps try taking out the quotation marks...
~ Analysing is good. Ask your teacher for tips, and then when you've done the Portfolio for it or whatever your school does, show it to your teacher and ask for feedback.
