I’m not sure how many times I’ve said this in my history of dreams, but last night I had quite possibly the strangest one yet. This time it seems like it could actually be a plausible scenario rather than something totally outlandish. Well, maybe. :-)

Will decided he wanted to more efficient so he started thinking up ways to make his day as productive as possible. He concluded that the best way to get the most out of a day would be to stay in bed, but upload his consciousness to Omni’s network and do his work remotely while his body slept. This way he wouldn’t have to bother driving or walking or otherwise expending energy. It worked really well for awhile, until one evening when he tried to return to his body he found he could not reenter it. As it turns out his body had died while he was working but he could not be convinced of this because his consciousness still remained alive.

Someone suggested that sounded a lot like Serial Experiments Lain, which I didn’t even think of until just then. I wonder if this would make an interesting short story? I might give that a shot as I’ve been trying to break out of the tedium of everyday blahness by being more productive myself. I really want to get myself excited about design again so I’ve been trying to redesign freshlydead. Thus far it’s been going amazingly well, thanks to encouragement from friends. (ie, constant pestering.) Thank you guys.
