Dreams are mostly a rapid succession of undeveloped situations. The natural fecklessness of the mind splinters the objective into fragments each of which could be a world in itself if you were fast enough to grasp the leading thread that it offers. On occasions this happens spontaneously - actually everything in dreams happens without premeditation, although conscious priming might play a role - a situation opens into a story with a well developed scene setting and one or more intentions in the dreamed mind of the dreamer. When this happens the dream becomes more vividly coloured and the periphery of scenes better articulated. At the same time a latent awareness arises that you while for the most part identified with the dream protagonist are also scripting the dream. The dream world has a peculiarly elastic quality. This encourages the dreamer to pursue a definite goal, as if to arrive at the answer to a question or attain an epiphany. Now the dreamer and the metteur en scene are working at odds to each other, the purpose of the latter being to withhold not so much the sought after conclusion as the circumstances that would force it according to the narrative logic. It becomes a contest and what wakes you is when the dream-creator gives up and peevishly upsets the board and scatters the pieces in play.
