I've been having some odd dreams - that is when I'm actually able to sleep. Most nights are spent wrestling with thoughts of worry, panic, regret and fear. It first began with the witching hour, but then bled into all hours of the night, reducing my nightly rest to a mere three hours.
But to the dreams, which is what you asked about. All kinds of dreams, ranging from the cat that recently passed away, /AZ, to towns that never existed and people I've never met. Most of these dreams are forgotten within minutes of waking up but some dreams linger on.
Last night brought an interesting dream, not so much in the contents but in the strong, nonsensical conviction it brought. You see, I dreamt of a new video game concept - one that hadn't been created before. I was so taken aback by the dream I recall the desire to immediately call my friends and explain the idea upon wake. I thought about the mechanisms to implement the game: hire a team? learn to program? This game was unique, cutting edge, revolutionary...
But then my senses returned. The logic returned and I realized how impractical the concept was. The suspension of disbelief, or acceptance of irrationality, began to dissipate in the waking hour and I was left with the unsettling details that brought the vision to collapse. How would this be implemented? How would that be made?
The odd part was how convinced I was in the video game vision during the dream state. It's interesting how the mind can fall for odd visions in the midst of the night.
