Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jack7" data-source="post: 4765783" data-attributes="member: 54707">This past week my wife and children have been gone to Virginia. I have been here alone for the most part.I've taken that time to do several things that I haven't done in a long time. Practice solitude, practice Tai Chi, analyze scriptures and restudy Hebrew and Greek, practice meditative Yoga, contemplate. (I also had the week before this one suffered a bad back injury, having previously had my back broken in youth, so this was a good time to quit my training altogether and just recover. I couldn't do much physical anyways so I turned to concentrate upon my mind and soul.)While engaged in activities like this I became kind of nostalgic and went back through many of my old notebooks. I was looking through some of the notebooks in which I had recorded results from some of my old scientific experiments and I came across my written Dream Logues. From February, 1983 until September, 1992 I kept a written Dream Logue. (Actually I've kept a dream logue since I was a little kid, and on up until the present, but the logues before this date are disorganized, the ones afterwards are recorded on tape or video, not on paper.)I used to have very numinous dreams when I was a kid and even much later. I rarely have numinous dreams now, and maybe that's because being busy about life my mind gets swamped and I don't recall them very well. I just don't devote as much time in my life at this time in my life to my mind and my soul as I used to do. I might have a really impressive and numinous dream nowadays about once every six months or so. And often that's about something I'm doing, like working on a  problem or inventing or whatnot. But it used to be once a week or so, on as wide a range of subjects as my imagination could devise.Anywho, as I said, I found my old Dream Logues. I realized by reading over them that many of my old dreams and dream entries would make not only very good fictional stories but also very good adventure scenarios. Though not of the typical kind. They would make adventures of an almost surreal or mystical type in some cases, and of an extremely weird, bizarre, and frightening type in other cases.I used to title my dreams based upon the chief subject matter and dreams like the Ghost, Ring Von Drei Firbindliches, the Black Wolf, the Airboat, the Falling Clockwork Moon and the Spheres, Conclave of the gods, Tarbfeis, the Opera Faux, the Invisible Man, the Deluge, and the Book of Lost Worlds would probably all make a basis for interesting, if very unorthodox, adventures.I've never really thought of doing this before but I thought I'd mention it as unusual potential source material. Maybe you have some unusual source or method for developing things in your owns settings?</blockquote>
