Memory Part One-A

 I came across an old journal sitting under my bed that had a collection of dreams I had written about and then tried to interpret their meaning. I had this idea to connect them together into a scene for a movie. 

After assembling a handful of my own dreams into context the idea of combining other peoples’ dreams to develop a more engaging selection of scenes came to mind. I found out that in most peoples’ dreams there was always a motif or a symbol that remained strong through out and imposed them in strange situations.

                                                            Sequence of a dream

  A girl has dreams of being a child in a playground with all of her friends. At one point a storm seems to construct in the distance. The playground begins to fall apart. It closes in on them.  There are rocks and boulders falling from the sky. The children become trapped. There is frantic running and the shrill screaming of children is so provoking and disturbing. In a moment of terror a girl tells her friends that if they squeeze their eyes really tight they will wake up, as if the horrible storm has now made every one aware that they are in a dream and can escape if they wish. But as the girl opens her clenched eyes, she discerns she is the first to awake. She realizes she has left all her friends behind so she must fall asleep again in order to return to them. When she returns she finds herself in a basement of a school building. There are other people in the room. What used to be a circle of her childhood friends is now a circle of grown people she has never met before. There is a girl that is taking. She explains that in order to be a writer you must have some thing good to write about. She assigns every one in the circle to go out and interact with the people outside, and to make a night of it. She tells every one to meet her back in the same place tomorrow  with a story explaining the events from last night.
