It’s been a minute since I’ve had some good ass dreams. I think that’s why I’ve been going through a creative rut; my subconscious just kinda crapped out. That is until last night when I dreamt about Dustin ‘Bustin’ Diamond (resurrected from the dead. RIP) reprising his role as Screech for American Legend: A Saved By The Bell Story. It’s entirely possible that I was confusing Screech with ‘Landry’ from Friday Night Lights, as Screech was a Texas high school football placekicker who gets an athletic scholarship to UCLA where he unlocks his secret athletic prowess by switching to wide receiver and becoming a fucking legend. I might run that one through AI and see what it comes up with because I sure as shit ain’t writing that. But I did have another interesting dream, this time involving continuity in the James Bond universe. Obviously there’s been multiple actors that have played the role. Are they all the same James Bond? It’s an age old philosophical question. The solution that my brain came up with is that they are the same character, but each actor represents a different personality because James Bond secretly has dissociative personality disorder. This came to a head, because, in my dream of course, I was James Bond and while on a mission in Berlin, I fought an apparition of Daniel Craig who was actually an internal representation of my mental instability. Fortunately, I was saved by the Bond girl because the apparition was actually a result of an epileptic seizure.
