An excellent idea! I'm interested in dreams too - I
am subject to weird and fascinating ones from time
to time! I have an "overactive"
imagination.

Well you can, because I wrote up my best dreams in the
We Pretty diary, and will write up my best since
then in the Goodnite Luddite diary!
The
following entries in the We Pretty diary in particular were
inspired by dreams:
- 7th JULY, 2003: PARIS, FRANCE
(systolic fields dream - the fields represent the courts at
Wimbledon)
- 8th DECEMBER, 2001: MEDITERRANEAN SEA (I had one
dream about running away and being shot at, and another
about a magenta pirate in the sky)
- 3rd OCTOBER,
2002: ST. ANDREWS, CALEDONIA (naked in the
mine/countermine dream)
- 2nd SEPTEMBER, 1699: NOVI SAD,
YUGOSLAVIA (I have a recurring nightmare about driving in a
car I can't control)
- 30th APRIL, 2000: ZAGREB,
CROATIA (aeroplane/animals dream; I have recurring dreams
about my cat Dragon being resurrected)
- 22nd
OCTOBER, 2004: HAMBURG, GERMANY (I had a dream about two
strips of metallic paint - one white, the other cyan -
chasing each other through an abstract maze, and it was
because of this dream that I decided on the white/cyan
colour symbolism)
Also, the first screen in Ma
jolie is my attempt to recreate a very vivid dream of a
MM room that I had! :-) I can't get it to turn out
quite like the dream version, though, because the real
version is "synthetic", whereas the room in the dream was
vaguer and more "natural".
