Last night's dream was a little too whimsical and abstract for me to be able to put into words, but let me try.
I used to play a video game called "Spore". My favorite thing about the game was the creature creator, which I used to help my creative process while I made monsters. In my dream, I was using Spore to try and create one of my characters, a dragon named Indara, but no matter how hard I tried, my dragon always turned out to be an indistinguishable blob.
Desperately I tried rotating the camera, tweaking body parts, building up the body region... but no matter how hard I tried, it always turned out to be a blob that looked suspiciously like a slug. I also remember that it had normal eyes on the front of his face, but for some reason I was really intent on putting very tall stalk-eyes on it's back as well. As if dragons have sluglike stalk-eyes on their backs.
After this I decided to put my wannabe dragon for a test drive. I think I was also riding on it's back too as I tried to control it and guide it in a distinguishable straight line, but it kept swerving off and never actually going where I wanted it to. At least it was a fast slug. I think I fell off once.
A lot of my dreams have to do with things like this- me trying as hard as I can to create something or do something in a certain way, but insurmountable obstacles always keep me from accomplishing my goal. It's frustrating. Sigh.
I had a dream kind of like that once...I think I was at a zoo or something, and there was this animal..I forget what it was, but I went into the Spore creature creator and tweaked it. :D
