Occasionally it happens that I have dreams that are purely theatrical. They invovle people, or rather charecters, that I do not know, have never met- essentially have created. These dreams do not jump around or fail to make sense as normal dreams tend to do, but have a plot a story line. Towards the end if I become aware of what is happening, I begin to edit. I replay certain parts of the dream or someone says something different or they choose left rather than right.
I am able to do this with nightmares now, even if they include me. If I'm having a nightmare, the moment I suspect it is a nightmare- I no longer struggle between is this real or not- I no longer try to escape- I no longer wake up- I begin to construct. What a great horror story/movie this would be! I edit, I change my monster the people, the situation. Make it scarier more surreal or more funny.
Are these dreams a product of an over active imagination? Or are they my subconscious way dealing with a life that is completely uneditable?
