weird, sort of synesthesia dream
I tend to dream about the stuff I do or read right before falling asleep quite a lot. Yesterday I spent time reading SPN fanfic/fanart combinations from the Big Bang comm and thinking about quilts and their design, which led me to dreaming about collaborative SPN fanworks that actually *were* quilts. I don't know, it made sense in the dream, but I can't really explain it awake.
I dreamed about a group making a quilt as a gift or based on a prompt, but the parts of the quilt were an SPN story and art at the same time. One with action scenes and time travel I think. At least besides Dean and Sam there was definitely also time travel in this dream, or rather some kind of time distortion bubble that had formed around a building(?) that resembled my former high school's gym, but was also a flying(?), steampunk-like train at the same time. There were also people in hazmat gear (to protect them from the time distortion effects) outside. Or maybe they wore it for a different reason. Lots of running around and being chased too, which is a common theme in my dreams.
Understandably I have a really hard time to recall the images from the dream, because nothing makes sense, less so than usual even, what with being both an action plot and a patchwork quilt, i.e. while all the action unfolded as is normal in a dream the same things were also that quilt. It worked in the dream somehow. Then again, maybe it isn't that odd in light of this this traditional image of fate being a spun yarn that represents life somehow controlled by a group of women, Moirae I think? At least patchwork quilts are two-dimensional patterns, that were the fanfic plot here...
So I guess in a way I dreamed fanfic (the SPN steampunk-flavored timetravel action plot, which I unfortunately don't recall in detail) and fanfic meta (the group of women making a patchwork quilt somehow representing the former) at the same time. Still -- WTF, subconcious?

I have some really odd dreams like that too, that are so convoluted as to not be decipherable later. Active imagination?

Mostly my dreams are just odd in the regular dream way with just one narrative. And some have surprisingly coherent plots. I still wish that the Terminator/Harry Potter crossover I dreamed once was a real fanfic, because it's premise was so cool. (In it the Voldemort war got out of hand and the muggles buili SkyNet and terminators initially to protect themselves from wizards, only that spectacularly backfired and eventually John and Sarah Conner and Harry hooked up and they fight both Death Eaters and evil robots, and of course there was time travel involved too... it was a really cool action adventure dream, mixed with teen angst from kids burdened with messiah expectations as Harry and John commiserated.)
