The Midnight Director
Every dream is a production. You have notes.
What the Midnight Director is like
Your dreams are set in real places with real people — and you direct every scene in vivid detail, then review the footage at breakfast. Your friends' cameos are noted. They will be informed.
Why Midnight Directors dream this way
Take control, aim it at your actual life, shoot in high definition, keep the footage — that's the Midnight Director, and the combination is more loaded than it sounds. Cosmic dreamers who steer are only playing; you're steering scenes starring people you'll see on Thursday. The vividness makes it feel like testimony, the recall makes it durable, and the lucidity means some of it was, technically, your idea. Your friends never consented to their performances. The reviews are in regardless.
