Dreams are odd things. There's a theory they're the extra-terrestrial/dimensional overseers of Experiment Earth wirelessly extracting our memories for further study the mind sorting and cataloguing experiences you've had while awake from short term to long term memory. If that's the case, then a couple of nights ago my mind did a comprehensive backup of pretty much every TV show I've consumed over about the last year, so great was the number of characters and locations that made an appearance. I wasn't sure if I should be a little concerned, since that's the kind of complete backup you tend to do when you think the storage device is likely to fail not long after.I wouldn't ordinarily have bothered mentioning that, but here I am a few days later and I've experienced the most vivid, interesting and original dream I've probably ever had (at least that I can remember). It was so fascinating to me I immediately sat down and filled eleven pages of a notebook describing it and turning it into a story outline. I've not written any fiction for a long time since I always thought my ideas were too derivative, but I managed to write more in one morning than I'm expected to for my written uni assignment I still have nine weeks to complete. It feels a bit like I've had a Zak McKracken moment, like all that stuff the other day was being filed away to make way for some important information I'm supposed to do something with.
