So I was lying awake last night taking a look at my life and I really wanted an escape. I wanted to escape back into the dream world. Where I could have as many adventures with as many people as I want. I just wanted to go there once again.
Anywho, like I said before, we all have dreams every time that we sleep, it's just that we don't remember them. And I can't help but wonder if it's a defensive mechanism in our brain that causes us to forget our dreams. What unimaginable horrors await us there? What immeasurable pleasures do we experience when we dream?
I calculated it. And I have had roughly 7,665 dreams AT LEAST. I'm pretty sure I dream more than once a night so roughly 15,330 dreams have eluded my memory.
I think one very interesting premise for a show or a film would be a day in the life of a man who was stuck in Dream Island (see CS Lewis' Voyage of the Dawn Treader of the Chronicles of Narnia series). The premise is that Dream Island is a place where all your dreams come true. And CS Lewis does an interesting thing with this.
SPOILER ALERT
Basically, every sailor that hears of Dream Island, start panicking and trying to get away from Dream Island. Curious, Edmund or some other ask, "What's up? Who wouldn't want to go to Dream Island where all your dreams come true?" The sailors answer, "Yes. Exactly. ALL your dreams. Your dreams do not only consist of happy dreams. This island can make your most horrifying nightmares come to life as well as your dintzy happy dreams." After hearing this, Edmund gets scared as well.
Anywho, I think it is an awesome premise for a film and I'm considering making a film about dreams. :-jD (the artistic moustache smile!)
