Who the, what the, where the...?
Every once in a while I'll have a really bizarre dream. It's not weird because of its content or whatever, but because it'll have absolutely NOTHING to do with me. It's sort of like watching a movie, except that none of the actors are famous or well-known.
I know I'm not the only person on earth who has these types of dreams because a guy in one of my workshopping classes, Kurt, wrote a story based on a dream he had that had nothing to do with him. He wasn't even mentioned in the dream. It's a weird predicament. You know?
Well the story he wrote for the workshop was pretty awesome but everyone in class had a problem with his main character having a dream that didn't involve him. Not surprisingly, I was the only person in class who identified with him and his character. All I could do was turn to him and say "I got it."
In his story, the main character's dream was prophetic. I know Kurt doesn't think his dreams are of particular significance, but what if he and I and people who don't usually dream about themselves, are really just tapping into someone else's brain waves... Odd.
This one time I didn't even really dream. I basically watched Disney's The Jungle Book while I slept. I hadn't even watched the movie in years! Now that is incredible. I don't know many people whose dreams are movie's being replayed. I know that isn't a prophecy waiting to come true, but it still was not what you would call normal. Maybe I'm just weird.
