Most people think they have interesting dreams, but truth be told they don't and even the best of us is rubbish at retelling them. I've been fascinated by dreams for the longest of times. With a very good reason. Mine always plays out like a structured cinematic story. Unfortunately these are a fleeting events and easily forgotten figments of my imagination, that evaporates the moment I open my eyes. I have gained some control over them though and can force myself to wake up long enough to record pieces onto my phone. Even if they are very fragmented. The fun thing with dreams telling a story is that in never bored. Unfortunately it makes interpreting them rather difficult, even when keeping a dream journal. To put my point into perspective.
"Nuclear blast, badly survive turn into mutant, with cyber eye. We took out the gut with the rocket pack, whom was stopping the payload in the train. Got turned into a glowing at night one along with many others. We pretend to be normal when other people nearby. I get introduced to local leader in red. The other mutants knocks me out. Kill the leader and skins him. Then dress me up in his skin to become an imposter. This maze me a lot more durable and gave me a healing factor. Turning me into the post apocalyptic version of a socially awkward terminator. Whom the ex girlfriend of the rocket pack hero accidentally falls in love with. "
This is a shoddy, rough and mostly unedited draft of a dream I had recently. There is a cause and effect, a beginnig, a middle and an end. Though I did abruptly end the event. The interesting thing is that I could see more of I immediately went back to sleep. Regardless I plan to turn these snippets into plot elements in my stories one way or another. Too bad that most people will never listen and that I'm still quite bad at orally retelling a story, non the less I carry on with my plan.
As for the idea of analyzing the dream, I like a good story and lovely ladies and saw a cyanide and happiness sketch before bed. A hilariously awesome yet profoundly disturbing show, a true staple of internet entertainment.
On another note, October is coming and thusly it's time to prepare for inktober. Where I have a list with a word to draw every day.
