My brain is having more fun lately than I am.

It's hardly fair.

I get up, I work, I eat, I come home, I play games, or fiddle about online, I sleep.

I dream.

Frequently now.

The latter addition is really quite new, and perplexing, because they're all lucid enough, I'm all in them to some extent (though Not Entirely Myself- because that would be very lucid dreaming indeed, and really boring

I find keeping a dream journal next to your bed and writing the bits down you can remember in the morning directly after waking up helps to remember the dreams more and more detailed after a while!

I keep my laptop on my bed.

It's not that I can't remember. It's that I can't re-narrate parts I've already gone over, and the Editor-in-me is yelling everything's quite rubbish and therefore nothing ever gets to definitive transcription in any form. Just a giant load of plot-notes.

Yeah well, that's dreams for you. You might as well try to gain control over an armada of hyperactive 6-year olds on a sugar high at the petting zoo. Don't let it get you down.

Just use parts of them, or let you imagination be inpsired by them.

It's just, my imagination is lovely, it really is, it hands me such wonders to work with that I smash my head against the wall because I'll never do it justice.

It's why I so freely provide plotbunnies to everyone else, because my imagination clearly outstrips my ability to recreate it in a more physical form. (as in, outside my brain, where others can appreciate it too)

Oh, or, I only remember the last relative 'hour' of it.

When I mean 'giant epic fantasy' I seriously mean GIANT EPIC fantasy worlds.

I won't start about the 'Spy movie' ones I had in my teenage years.

Or the 'original fantasy RPG' ones from late teens.

Some of them used to recur now and then, and I keep hoping bits of those will swing back around now, but it's probably a vain hope.
