I have often thought I would like put words to screen (computer) of these random thoughts that seem to fill my head....especially when one tries to fall asleep with an early alarm set. Ugh! Now just to invent that recorder that connects to a data port that they surgically implant behind my ear so I don't have to type it all out...
There are times it is just random dialog and it isn't even my dialog. I must admit that I seem to be a bit additive to television watching. So much so that I can't image the number of hours of my life that has been used up by 'vegging out' in front of the TV. I guess that random dialog is from something I have watched that is buried deep in the brain. Grrrr, it is so annoying that it isn't even good dialog. It is more like cheap B roll or soap opera dialog. It is like overhearing a bland conversation. Is that a sign of how boring my existence has become?
But now my dreams, they are another matter. The best way to describe my dreams is to compare them to scenes between commercial breaks. I say scenes as they don't always have a fully developed plotline, otherwise they would be short films, they are that good. There is drama, romance, tragedy and most nights action. I really haven't been able to do comedy or romantic comedy, my favorite type of film while awake. Maybe a black comedy with self-deprecating humor is in there once in a while.
I swear I could make real money writing screen plays with these dream ideas....would that be a dream job? The fly in the ointment in this whole matter is that I can't seem to remember all the details that well after I wake up to tell someone, let alone write them down. Ugh, again!!!! I have come to realize what brings me out of those dreams and wakes me up. It is when a plot line or a scene doesn't work, gets stuck. When my mind can't figure out a reasonable next line or action, I am tossed awake. I guess that is the commercial break. At times, it is a real shame as I am so enjoying the action....or other characters if you know what I mean. LOL And it is rare to fall back asleep into the same dream. Is nice when it is an uplifting dream to lie there a bit soaking in those vibes. Not so much when it is a horror dream, that pit in the stomach or racing heart needs no more 'soaking in'.
It is funny when someone says my dreams, you would naturally correlate that they are in them. Not mine. Well, sometimes but not as the rule. I see the 'scene' as if it is in front of me. I am thinking I am maybe the director or the audience. There are times when I feel I am playing one of the characters but there are cut away shots when you can us in the scene. I rarely look like myself but I have become that character.
There is no hidden meanings behind my dreams except that I am in the wrong like of work.
