What Dreams May Come
Okay, so I know that dreams only sound interesting to the dreamer. But I had a scary dream last night and it was so cool.
Yes ... I know ... excited about scary dreams? What's up with that?
Well, I get some of the best ideas from dreams and mostly nightmares. Lately, for whatever reason, I haven't been dreaming or remembering my dreams, which has put a crimp in my creativity.
Last night I dreamt I went to a haunted house. It had the normal scary ghost children playing with old-fashioned toys, who threatened to kill me as their eyes glowed read; however, what was really creepy was the master bedroom. It was a rainy day in my dream and the curtains were open and what little light made the room seem grey. I flicked on the light, and the room went totally black. Instead of the light illuminating the room, all of the light was sucked out. I slowly backed out of room, knowing that something was lying in wait inside the darkness, and ran like hell out of the house.
Then I woke up.
Totally need to use that in one of my stories.

Good thing you wrote it down here so you don't lose it! And, you dream every night, you just don't always remember them. So, tell yourself you're going to remember your dreams when you fall asleep, then you will. Hell, tell yourself you're going to 'wake up in' your dream...and learn the fun of lucid dreaming ;)
Namaste
I like it. Can't wait to see the screenplay version!
Definitely use that!!
Just from reading this I can see the light switch sucking the darkness out of the room. Even better, I can't stop seeing it!
How about using it for a character for your Project A too -- someone who makes everyone else's powers work backwards?
And you know, you ought to do a blog on what sort of super power you wish you could have. Probably turn up some cool stuff.
You know what I'd pick already -- cat's eye glasses and the ability to walk backward through my calendar. :)
stacia,
Don't know much about "lucid dreaming" but it sounds interesting. I'm wondering if stress makes you forget dreams sometimes. Because it seems like when I'm worried, that's when I don't remember much. :(
Nick,
We'll see about the novel first, as I'm plugging away which seems like forever.
Alright, Karen. You always have the best ideas for blogs. And I'm glad everyone liked that scene. I will definitely incorporate it somewhere. (evil laugh)
VERY NICE
