I used to keep a paper and pencil at the bedside to write down whatever that I may remember of an early morning dream. This was more than a decade ago, and the paper has stayed blank all this time. (I vaguely remember converting a dream into a poem, I think it turned out to be horrible)
Yesterday, I had a dream about making a film -- choosing the story, script writing, the casting, the narration, shooting locations, well, almost all the aspects of film making in a very detailed way. Even the film. This time when I woke up, I didnt have to write anything down, I had remembered most of it. The film is about a middle class woman whose husband one day doesnt come home from work. The story revolves around her search for husband, and what she discovers. The story needs some more work. But it has kind of given a fillip. Is this the definitive thing for life?
I am budgeting for, er, more dreams. Let's see what comes in tonight :-)

it is a bit strange but last night i dreamt of a middle class woman - attractive in a sort of a housewifely manner - who loves a man who verbally humiliates her in front of others...she loves and she doesnt love it. i did not make the movie, unlike you, but it was like a movie i was watching. frame by frame, sequence by seqeunce i saw how the couple's life progressed. in one frame they were young, very young, in another frame they had a child, in next frame they had two children, in next there were five children, and in the last frame i heard the man - visibly aged by now - call her witch in hindi, and the woman - also visibly very matured, grey-haired - gave him a rebuking look but in the next instant they were interwined together in the throes of love-making - sorry, have violent sex - and in my subconscious - procreating again. They were not well off and definitely didn't seem to have lot of material things, but they seemed content with each other. at one point inbetween the frames, the woman looked at me directly (i didnt know I was a spoectator visible to them) and said, "these children are my life and joy. nothing would pain me more than not have them with me." and she smiled. i woke up with my head swirling left and right!
Hi Sinoj,
Good to know that you have started to think seriously about movies.. I know you always had a vision about movies.
Good luck..
Also, get ready with a couch for casting! :-)
