I am going to suggest that any Dreamscape may not be captured utilizing traditional methods. In your case Print screen or Snippet tool.
Again I suggest that you download and use a free third party tool to do your screen capture.
I know of many that will grab what ever is on the screen regardless of what is on it, unless a configuration modification has been made to the capture tool

you could press the print screen button on keyboard, after that open paint, press ctrl+v in paint window, the desk will appear, cut off what you need from it copy it, open paint again, past it and save it
Zero at programing, zero at writing codes, so far 2 at making images
But I'm good at copy/paste, and I not always like this

I use PicPick for screen shots http://picpick.wiziple.net/

Works a treat and it's free :)
