Last night’s dreams - nothing special…
I remember being in a car driven by a high school friend, Matt, or Sean (or a combination in one guy) and we were being chased by a corrupt cop (mostly I was being chased, though). I used the guy’s silver RAZR (so, maybe it was Matt at that time or I barrowed my dad’s phone for the day) and pretended to call the police. I didn’t call the police for real because they were all corrupt.
The guy driving the car was an excellent driver and was close to losing the cops until we got to a neighborhood where the cars were double parked and we had to stop.
We jump out of the car and ran. The bushes and trees along this road were sparse and dying and none of them were sufficient for hiding.
It was daytime and I was wearing a nice gray sweater and my light jeans (they were really loose on me in the dream) so I ran and hid behind a porch with similar colors.
Later, I was in an old WWII military plane with a friend (female) flying. She had to jump and told me to land the plane. I was like, “I don’t know how to land a plane!!”
she landed the plane for me at a large amusement park or fair.
At the fair, friends and I walked through mexican restaurant stands and I told my friends which were the best and worst places to eat and where I’d like to try.
My aunt, my parents, and I ate at one of the restaurants.
After the meal when they were eating desert, I turned around and found a Super Nintendo! Bill came over to the bench near me that faced this old TV set and we played games on it. The game I remember playing had both the first-person-shooter view and the 2D overhead map view.
Later, Bill had to leave and my mom played video games with me for a while.
Then I woke up.

Idea for a screenplay I’m working on
So I’ve been watching a marathon of UFO related programming on the History Channel (gawd, I’d love to work for them someday!) and watched a special about War of the Worlds and somehow that triggered an idea for a scifi screenplay idea.
However, I’m pretty sure it’s not too original.
My problem is that I have ideas I want to put in it that surronds the plot and the setting and some of the characters, but I lack a solid plot, which is essential to writing a story. Once I have a plot, I can work on structure.
I’m not putting any real details here, but it’s a story to look at humans and our culture from the outside and it will have some of my weird theories in it as well as political aspects.
Yeah, I know i’m weird.
Now, if only I could come up with a plot.
