Heartland

Thought this warrants a new topic: I dreamt of this forum last night. And of a fictional bootlegging site. Except it was a real place, looking like a bar, with IP numbers written down in little black books.

Also featuring: strange architecture, selective time-manipulating powers, closed steampunky Underground stations, flying.

That's not too far off the reality sometimes!

Wonder what a psychiatrist would make of all this. Obsession, alcohol, old-fashioned design, nerds ... Yep, sounds like a fairly lifelike reconstruction of any gathering of TSOM fans.

Hahaha! The other kind of bootlegging...

I wonder if he was listening to Afterhours when he wrote this ?

Pft. I get creepier dreams than that without TSoM...

Thankfully, last night's dreams weren't creepy, but they did have in them (no, not *that* kind of dreams...). Something about cigarettes...

I dream vividly every night. I just don't remember them come morning. As I drift from subconsciousness to consciousness, they seem to dissipate. Then they're gone. Then I experience déjà vu at a later date.

However, after going to sleep one night after Rien's OP, and waking, I did manage to grab onto the tail of one... and drag it back. Once I had the tail it was very easy to find the head, and work back, and write it down.

The other protagonist in the dream is a close student friend, so I emailed it to her. I counted 27 triggers and she spotted 15 instantly.

We have since met (twice) to discuss, and we have managed to fill-in the blanks, but there's still two missing which we don't understand, or can't understand.

And yes, she thinks I'm even more weird than she initially thought.

Once you start remembering them, especially if you discipline yourself to write them down immediately, it gets more and more easy to remember.

Novel in the offing? A book of Short Dreams?

Don't knock it, as there is a huge market out there. Depending on your writing skills and final presentation.
