For some reason, my dreams in the last couple of nights have been very vivid and memorable. Just the night before last, I had quite an interesting conversation with a bruiser-like representative of my dream who strongly advised me against trying to push the scenery once I'm lucid.
Last night, I had a pretty scary dream. Well, scary in retrospect... while I was still dreaming, it all was... well, a little scary, sure, but more in the was that a really gripping movie can be scary. I never actually felt scared while I was still dreaming... that came only when I woke up in the middle of the night because I had to pee.
Last night's dreams also left me with an idea for a story seed: A drug that doesn't affect the conscious, waking mind at all, but rather grants its user extremely good, vivid and memorable dreams once he's asleep. That would be the perfect thing for some kind of tyrannic society... seeing as it doesn't affect working capabilities at all and tends to keep drug users docile. Then again, what might happen if there are side effects...?
And now: Off to 80 minutes' musical enjoyment.
