A lot of authors have had stories come from dreams, and a lot of people keep Dream Journals. So I was wondering, what's come to you in a dream?
I woke up just a few moments ago, and this was my Dream (It took me about 5-10 minutes to find the right notebook, but this is pretty accurate. Though I have taken out the things that are just in my dreams and are just confusing, such as my bedroom being big enough to hold a bunch of people, or even a Fantasy story wedding taking place in my house):
(The following characters were given at random. I can't remember whether it was something one of them said, or something I saw, but I got the feeling the characters were angels, and so I gave them the first angel names I could think of)
People are in a large room, dicking about and not doing much. They're all waiting for something. A man bursts through the door, "Arariel! you and Sariel are going to have to get married now, Daniel's coming!" This is a dress fitting or a rehearsal and not the real wedding. The real wedding wouldn't be for a few days. The women all run out to help the bride and speed things along, and all the men get swords ready. Daniel was a former alley who now wants these guys dead. I can't remember why, there may not even have been a reason. The Arariel, meanwhile, frantically searches for something in the closets and other places. After a few minutes some of the women return. The conversation turns to how Daniel knows where they are, and the messenger says it's because of one of the girl's diary (A radio looking thing). She wonders how he's been using it because she's had it the whole time. This is answered with a few "i dunno"s. It is also announced that Daniel's great conversational skillz and ability to convince people of things is because he has powers of persuasion (like Darren Brown). Arariel points out he was only tricked once into buying medicine he didn't need from Daniel (this was from an earlier dream that had nothing to do with this one, and is an example of my subconscious scrambling dreams like eggs) he then laments his lack of a chainmail hauberk, and says he can't get married in the crap he's wearing. one of his friends gives him a hauberk, but it's a little tarnished and doesn't fit well. He then gets a sword together and finds a chest piece, making himself presentable next to the dress his bride will be wearing. He then goes to the bathroom (I seem to do this in all my dreams...) and on the way back makes a detour and eavesdrops on his wife-to be. She's ready and the ceremony will be starting soon. He excitedly hurries back and tells everyone, then goes outside to wait for Sariel. (most of this last part was assumed, made up, or sketchily recalled, as I had to wake up and really go to the bathroom. I was kind of disappointed, because I wanted to see the wedding and the fight.)
I assume this is what happens:
Sariel comes in in all her beauty, Arariel escorts her to the front, some words are said, Daniel busts into the place, a fight breaks out, and in the middle of the battle the two say their "I do"s. Pretty awesome stuff that I wish I could have seen (or dreamed in this case).
Well, what are some of your dreams guys?
