Dream
I've always wanted to illustrate some of my dreams, because it's strange to me that dreams are such vivid visual experiences but all people ever really do is express them in words and descriptions which really does them no justice whatsoever. I really want to see more people explaining and describing their dreams and thoughts through illustrations and things, I want to see if it really does show how incredibly unique each person's mind, and each dream of that mind is. Maybe all dreams of the same person follow certain structures that the brain automatically creates, but it varies drastically from person to person. This kind of thing would be fascinating. But unfortunately, drawing pictures from dreams is really time consuming; this took me more than a day. By which time I'd had even more interesting dreams. So it's really not a good investment of time.
But I think we'd really learn a lot if people started looking into their own dreams. I'm not a giant dream fan, I don't write them all in a journal and seive through them looking for symbolism and meaning, but I am fascinated by how the brain generates images and memories and experiences. And therefore how plural brains differ in the way they do this.

A while back I had a visually obscure, yet simple dream that pretty much involved most things in my current lifestyle which mainly consists of trying to get to college everday on the train, going down to Birmingham to see my friend Backie or people, or going to a large party somewhere or missing trains and whatnot. Anyway, it seemed to just be all blended together. The dream is a giant image you'll have to scroll through will text and images, but first, I thought I'd create a picture of my little mental map of the places in the dream (real places) and the sort of transport journeys take etc. You don't NEED to see it, it's just there if it happens to help. (The train journey there takes about 1:15, the car ride to Backie's is like half an hour, and so is the walk to college. But I don't think that's relevant. I really don't remember..)
