Dream in the morning

capri0mniDon't remember much of the overall dream, but it involved tracking down someone and/or something elusive, in a maze-like seperate dimension.
One thing I do remember, in the last "chapter" of the dream, right before I woke up, was the realization that it was possible to get out of the maze by passing directly through the walls, via the empty spaces in the higher level quantum dimensions inside the atoms within the walls and furniture of our prison.
But there was a catch (isn't there always?): if we took such a path, it would lead us into the past of our own lives -- by decades. This would get whoever traveled by this means outside the prison forever, but there was no similar shortcut into the future (or, the present, depending on perspective) except to wait out the decades. And there was a very real danger the person could die in the meantime.
Right before I woke up, I distinctly remember the phrase: "Dead in five years, from cancer."
...I think it must have been an anxiety dream about my dad.
But. Yeah. Man. What a great idea for a sci-fi story, huh? Wouldn't that basic premise make a great movie?

Date: 2006-02-09 06:20 am (UTC)I was thinking it would be along the lines of the Matrix movies, or something (but I don't really know, not having actually seen any of them).
...And when the person goes back she (or he) would be their adult age, in the same time and place that she (or he) was a child, and be the "Mysterious Adult" in that suddenly appears in that child's life, but not being able to tell the child self about the future, or change anything of the present, due to Blinovitch Limitation type stuff, watching the child grow up, and all the while eluding the bad guys who have followed her or him along the quantum pathway... And if there were several members of the team who did this, the movie could follow each of their lives, and how their paths came together...
Yeah. So how do I get this idea to a Hollywood scriptwriter?
God (that's Morpheus, natch)! I love my brain. Even my anxiety dreams are more fascinating and creepy cool than scary.

Some very Buddhist concepts there.
