I plan to have Guu go on the Astral Realm void quest. For the uninitiated, that's the one where you have to hop from dream to dream trying to find the one dream that contains the void gate. Because of this, the quest allows for an episodic feel.
While the dreams I delve into will become plot specific eventually, my plan for a huge chunk of the quest is to take the most common nightmares out there and write individual short stories about each of them.
I'm already making a list of them and researching their common meanings-
[spoiler]Falling/Flying - life problems with relationships, work, or elsewhere, let go.
Teeth falling out - loss of confidence
Public nudity/underwear - Vulnerability, anxiety. Big life changes
Test taking - Stay alert
Dying - End it already!
Meeting a Celebrity - Qualities are vindicated
Being Chased - FACE YOUR FEARS!
Partner is Cheating - Distrust
Late for something - Overwhelmed
Being Pregnant - Desire for something more
Out-of-control vehicle/Trapped in car sinkingc- No control in life
Visions of the dead - Can't let go
Can't save loved ones (t-rex)
Zombie apocolypse - Negative attachments, rapid changes
Eaten by rats - being taken apart, hurt
Fires and Earthquakes - Car trapped in tornado
Wrestling match
Impromtu brain surgery at parties
Horse flies biting heads off/Decapitation
Kiddnapping/Escaping child murderers
Train travelling in a land of increasing disaster
Literally the movie "The Butterfly Effect" - regrets
Being disabled but handling it well - Good job
Someone is in the house - Paranoia
Dispointing family[/spoiler]
If you guys have thought of ones I haven't thought of, post here!
Also, if you guys would like to share your dreams with me, that would help immensely! Give me some inspiration. ^^
Who knows, your imput could go into the final product!
