I have Weird Dreams.

[thelibraniniquity]

So I have this weird tendency to dream cinematography, including this one time I was being interviewed about a best selling series of detective novels (that is totally going to be my fallback if this curtain making thing doesn't work out), and that one time I dreamed an entire episode of Doctor Who, complete with funky effects and musical score. I've learned my lesson about translating such experiences into fanfiction, since even the seemingly best stuff is still too bizarre for the light of day.

Then, a couple of weeks ago... ish... I dreamed an entire movie. One of the things I remember most clearly was that the two leads were played by Paul Blackthorne and Sarah Michelle Gellar (yeah, idk either), and there was this entire storyline revolving around genetic discrimination, cat burglars who can also fly and a standoff against the government/military/Big Bad on top of the Eiffel Tower, or something that looked a hell of a lot like it. I've got some vague, half remembered notes around here somewhere. It was kind of cool, and the ending was a bit schmaltzy in places, but not completely happy, which I appreciated. I do love a good dystopia :D

And then there was last night. As a result of sleeping badly on my mum's sofa bed, I have this half complete idea for something called "The Lonely Gods", in which a team of Earth astronauts on a long term deep space mission accidentally resurrect a long dead alien species and become responsible for helping them re-establish themselves on their planet, which has since become overrun by another (non human) sentient species.

Add this to the idea explodedpen accidentally spawned about a woman who transforms herself into a superhero after she realises that her brother/cousin/best male friend is setting himself up to become a supervillain with designs on world domination, and... yeah.

Weird.

I'd say write it. Might become a bestseller and then you can get interviewed by the Doctor! ;D

Reminds me of a dream I had a while back. Was something about the end of the world brought about by these three super-beings, reborn as humans. A lot of things about time-travelling (like one of the guys being Gjenkis Kahn, Eric the Red, and various other important historic personalities), religious messing about (another of the beings impersonated deities like Vishnu and various angles) and some general wackiness.

In my dream ot made perfect sense, but when I tried to take notes of it when I woke up, it was completely fucked up. Damn. It felt epic.
