This may be worth remembering...
May. 28th, 2010 11:26 pm...so I'll jot it down before I go to sleep. I had an interesting dream last night. I rarely remember my dreams, and in this case I have little more than impressions of moods and settings, but, unlike most of my dreams, it left me with a sense of pleasure and comfort. It was about a quarter in a British town - it might have been London or Oxford - where superheroes live alongside other people; the kind of pleasant, civilized middle-class community of professionals, but with more mutual knowledge and friendship than most. Most people knew each other. I dreamed of it in winter, with the snow outside and a good deal of warmth inside. I wonder if I could make a story of it. It would be very different from the usual superhero or wizard story - they always seem to be about the separation and mutual ignorance of normal and magical people, but I think it could be nice to try and imagine a situation in which Hercules helps a little old lady cross the road and later sits and listens to her tales of when she was young.
