I dream of vidding
Jun. 26th, 2006 11:28 amLast night, I dreamt that I was working on my Life on Mars vid. I've dreamed about vidding before, but it wasn't anything hugely specific. This time, because the meds I've been taking lately at the behest of my doctor make my dreams horrifically vivid and always filled with nasty stuff and quite long, the actual work I did in the dream was very clear. Unfortunately, even now, I can only ever remember tiny bits and pieces of my dreams. Most of the time, I can't remember them at all. I try really hard to make mental notes but they always disappear, even if the dream was just as I was getting ready to wake up and start my day. People always natter at me about keeping a journal by the bed, but I can't do that. Once I'm awake enough to write something down (or speak into a recorder), I will never go back to sleep and my chronic insomnia is bad enough without that adding to it.
But this was really interesting. I was stuck on a line at one point, where the singer is repeating the word "Gingerly" a couple times, and I was deciding what clips to put in there. I'll have to go back through the discs but I think I might even be able to find the clips that I was putting in there in the dream -- they were good choices, I think. I hope.
I guess it's a sign to finish off the damn BSG vid for Vividcon premieres and get going on Life on Mars. Maybe this will make it easier. I think I need a LoM icon now. Any place one can find them?
It is already almost in the 90s here this morning. I'm dying. I came hom from hot, sweaty NY to hot, sweaty Seattle: This isn't supposed to happen!!

Hot!Seattle is deeply unnatural. My dog and I resent it immensely. She's spending all her time sprawled out on the tiled floor, panting and begging for icecubes. And as for me? I'm re-reading comfort fanfic porn on the Internet. It's too hot for anything else.
