Summer Dreams, 1
Can't think of anything specific to write about, but I can't use that as an excuse to not post. Need to keep momentum while I can.
So, as I mentioned in the massive post yesterday, I've been having very weird dreams. Most of highschool and college, I rarely remembered the few dreams I had, but since I've been taking a pill to help my mood, my dreams have been pretty consistently vivid and memorable. They even have a few running themes, like me failing to take care of pet rats >_> Or having to do with film. A lot of them seem rather meta in their structure. Of course a fair number are also flinch-awake disturbing, but that just gives me more plot-fodder :P
In one dream I had a while back, I was minding the class of Magic School Bus, and recommended Carlos read Naruto because of the central story of a boy overcoming prejudices and trying to prove himself (before it was hijacked by our favorite brunet brooding brigade); I also idly thought that Phoebe would enjoy Fruits Basket.
That was shortly followed by an adventure of 4 heroes: my POV, another woman, Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and David Boreanez in Hero Mode (though I remember specifically calling him Seeley. Too much Bones). We were supposed to protect a guy, but he and Seeley got shot. At the same time, from opposite directions, in the heart (though there wasn't actually that much blood). I remember when applying pressure to the wound that our charge didn't feel like a person, more... squishy. Made of worms. It wasn't clear whether he survived. And there was magic involved - think my POV was a caster - and we teleported to a idol shrine manned by a young Tibetan (?) boy on the edge of a cliff face where Seeley almost fell off. I remember there was also a quiet character scene with Spike in a large barnhouse. I wish I could remember the details better.
Another dream I had was inspired by the Dr. Seuss aesthetic. At least, it used the boy from the Lorax as a character model, though I remember being aware enough to thing this was an adaptation of one of his other works, about prejudice or something. A secluded village of small creatures is beset by a spider-like beast who preys on those who speak. They've managed to circumvent this by developing a very quiet lifestyle, until Nameless Human Boy comes stumbling upon the town. They take him in, though he's twice their size (but small for his age, apparently), and I think the crux of the story was him finding a way to bring peace between the sprites and the spider. There may have been a gender-flip Beauty and the Beast thing going on between Boy and Spider (whom I visualized as Rosie from Bug's Life and Miss Spider from James and the Giant Peach). Don't remember how it all ended, but I do remember thinking it could have an interesting development.
Think that's all I'm going to do tonight. I'm going to poke more at my WoD character list. Later.
