I used to have dreams on a regular basis where I was writing the perfect OMG story, the story to end all stories, only to lose a grip on it when I woke up. Then one morning I actually remembered the story on waking and in a fitful haze I wrote it down lest I forget it again. It was the most godawful tripe I'd ever read, and I haven't had a dream like that since. :D So, yes, things that seem so great in rumination can manifest on paper as half-digested. ;) -- Paul
