Only One Way to Wake Up

I had a dream that I can't get out of my head.

You know how that sometimes happens? Maybe it was awesome, or scary, or maybe just downright strange, but it keeps randomly coming back to you.

Well, mine was a bit terrifying.

And I can't stop thinking about it, and for some reason, I want to get it out somehow.

The idea just came to me that maybe the only way to adequately release it is to make it into a movie.

No, seriously.

I could get a few extras, try some cheap special effects, get a good soundtrack.

That would be kind of awesome.

A little weird, yes. But maybe that could be my way of making it into something... I don't know, normal? That I could, in a really weird way, be proud of creating?

I guess a movie would be cool if it wasn't a dream that actually happened to me. And since it one of those dreams where I can't fully explain what it was like (you know those dreams... aren't they so frustrating to explain to other people?), it would make it more... explainable.

I don't know. I probably won't have the time, or means, or people willing to be in it.

But it just feels like a good idea at the moment.
