Wrote this down a few nights ago:

I was at the last grocery store I worked at and it looked a little different, almost like a wood shop. These people showed up and attacked several of us, in the store, so we fought back. The only way we got them to stop was by stabbing them with knives. Afterwards, we left, and went outside, but it looked like a big backyard with a wooden fence. A couple of the workers and I ran across the yard and over the fence. After the other two workers that were with me jumped it, the half that as next to me, on the left, fell over, so I climbed over it. After I did, a big group of guys dressed like mimes in red and black striped shirts came running towards the fence to climb over it. As they passed me they looked at me, and I pretended to ignore them and walked towards the car. As soon as I got to car, they started shooting off machine guns in the store I tried to get my keys to open the car door, but it took at minute to find them. Then I woke up.

Not typically. I might type down a dream I've had if I'm talking about it. I do have plenty of memorable dreams though. I've grown curious over the years as to the possibilities and limitations of dreams.

Like, I can fly in dreams. But flight still adheres to the laws of physics in the sense that I can only move in one direction until I bank off of an obstacle and resume flight in another direction. That, or touch down after losing momentum. Flight also adheres to the same rules as Super Mario Bros. 3 / Super Mario World in that I must run before I can fly.

I think it's subliminally hardwired into my brain that flight is an extension of running momentum after years -- nay, decades -- of playing those two games.

One thing I found amusing is that, on two separate occasions, I've brainstormed story ideas in my sleep. On both occasions, I reached the conclusions I would have reached while awake.

The first dream dealt with a supporting character in a work of fiction and whether or not he should be patterned after an 80s martial arts actor. (I decided against it.) The second dream dealt with what I would do if I had an opportunity to make a movie out of a cartoon show I liked as a child.
