Dreams

Dreams can always be a source of inspiration to authors. I got the idea for True or False? from a dream, and so far it's been going pretty well, although I don't know why Jal the band still keeps showing up in my dreams. Not that I'm complaining - the dreams have always been pleasant, except for one that made me cry in the morning when I woke up... Anyway, last night I had yet another dream involving Farhan, Goher, and Shazi. And no, it was not something to inspire another novel. Calm down, I'm getting to the point. In the dream, everyone in my family was sitting at home doing...nothing, from what I could tell, when the doorbell rang. My Dad, who was near the door, didn't answer it for some reason and went up to his room, maybe because he didn't want to be seen in his pajamas. I don't know why, but I was pretty excited and glad that I got to open the door myself, and I saw first Farhan, then Goher, and then Shazi. Don't know how I'd been expecting them, but I pretended that I hadn't and invited them in, making sure they sat down in our living room first before they could tell me what they were doing there. And then I don't remember what the rest of the dream was about. That's the unfortunate thing - I can never seem to remember the whole of my dreams, only little bits and pieces. Their car probably broke down just outside the house or something. Or maybe they needed directions, but I know that Goher has an iPhone so I would think that he'd be able to use the maps function for that...unless it ran out of battery. I don't know, but I can use some aspects of the dream in True or False? - like...never mind, I can't, because I really don't remember much other than opening the door, seeing them all in sunglasses (in February? Well, I use transition glasses that annoy me beyond all reason but always look like sunglasses as long as the sun is out. I don't know what their excuse is...), and inviting them in. Did I mention that it was snowing in my dream?
