haha! thanks!♥
The title (now!) is "Exploring dream-narratives in film".
Up until a few days ago it was something like "What are the consequences (to the narrative, the audience, and the character) of appending a dream sequence to a narrative?"
Really I'm interested in all 'non-realities' in fiction, not just dreams, but I only have 10,000 words and I'm already heading to go over my word count! D:
I have to say (being the uber nerd I am), it's going to be bitter-sweet to say good bye to my diss ;u; (and, by damn, I hope I do well after all the work I've put into it!)

OHHhh DREAMS
THAT'S SO COOL, I love dreams!
last night I had a dream I was watching Disney Channel and there was some weird Dolphin Boy and I was laughing so hard because he was such a dork.
:-[
are you having a lot of art from it? Are you gonna post it when it's done? *Q*)))

The part of my project that involves me arting is only loosely related to my dissertation; it's more about madness, but the two things cross over a fair bit sometimes. I'll definitely be posting stuff on my blog! And I keep trying to keep up with dA (I'm still trying and I will continue to try!! haha)
I wouldn't want to bore you or anything, but if you're interested when I'm done I can email it to you or somethin' and you can browse through it...but...well when you start reading you'll probably be like "LAME! GO AWAY NICOLE" and I will have lost you as a friend ;o; I...I don't think I'm prepared for that to happen... lol!
HAHA! I had a really weird dream this morning, but it was the kind you want to hold on to.. it was most intriguing, but if I don't write them down right away, I always forget them
there was a long period in my life where after one nightmare I had when I was about eight I had COMPLETELY lucid dreams (if any!) until I was about 18 or 19! It made dreaming very boring and I really hated it. But now I've gone back to having dreams again. Not having nightmares is the sign of being rather laid back/stress-free/dealing with stress in healthy ways apparently! (which is odd to me 'cause I hardly ever have nightmares, but I'd hardly call my stress-dealing methods* healthy...but I guess I am pretty laid back)
*these include screaming at by-standers, telling her loved ones she hates them (jokingly...?) and just being a general psychopath: "should I get the strawberry cheesecake or the lemon? hmm.. the lemon does seem to have a friendlier box! just look at the friendly yellow colour! like a smiley face!...but the strawberry hasn't let me down yet. It's so loyal and trustworthy..but it makes me feel boring....siigh okay strawberry!" (that's an actually conversation with myself in the grocery store...)

hmm HMMM I'm only half-interested in madness (it depends how it's played out) but if it still has stuff on dreams I really like that! And Nicole, please, some of my friends are interested in some mad boring things coughmickeycoughIMEANWHAT, I'D NEVER ABANDON YOU BECAUSE OF YOUR INTERESTS 
there was a period in time where I remembered ALL of my dreams and I'd have one every night (I used LJ at the time and used to document them there, people were like "WTF MORE DREAMS!?"). I only remember my dreams sometimes though and I'll wake up and text it to Mickey but instantly forget after. I search through texts to remember...LOL!
also, really??? I hardly ever have nightmares myself! I am pretty laid-back though...well, sometimes I have a group of bad dreams involving Mickey not wanting to be my friend anymore though, does that mean I'm stressed thinking she'll abandon me..? ROTFLROTFL <--DORK
your stress-dealing methods are TOO SILLY LOLOLOL maybe they're not as serious/troublesome as you thought ;D

HAHA!
the madness part of it is difficult to tackle because it's a broad area and some of it is not my interest at all and, describing it the way I did in a group crit once, everyone had this idea that I should go to like mental institutes and study the mentally unwell...which totally wasn't my point.. And I'm not interested in people being like "woo! look at me, I'm crazy" either.. Hmm.. I'm not sure what the best way is to explain this (probably best if I posted more work from it really!), but the comic with those 3 blue queen ladies is part of it (and the purple guy print). I did another print of one of the blue queens where she's all in blue, but has a white face which is a reference to how women used to use white lead make-up to make themselves look pale and 'aristocratic' (because only peasants go out in the sun and get tans or whatever.. lol). the lead used to eat away at their skin and make them delirious, but that was fashion. we'd call it mad now (the idea of it and result of it), but at the time it was just sense... That kind of thing I suppose.
But the dreams part of my work has not disappeared with my dissertation's end by any means! Have you seen Emily Carroll's blog, btw?? She did this entry about her dream journal which she's been drawing: [link] I thought it was quite cool!
AW! cool haha, I love reading about people's dreams.. I may have a ratch around your LJ now! (if I can ever figure out how to navigate that thing ;o; siiigh). I think it might be cool for a group of people to write up their dreams every day for like a week and then for each of the people to draw everyone else's dreams(each dream having like three 'bids/entries' for it or something) and then to compile each set of dream illustrations under the dreamer's name (even though they didn't draw any of the ones under their name, it will have been inspired by them and, undoubtedly, probably none of the illustrations will be anything like their dream!)....I think it would be interesting and cool..... >>;;haha!
lol! I can relate to that feeling actually (sadly I often think "I'm such a dufus; why do people even talk to me? hm...maybe if I don't question it, they'll never catch on and I can continue happily......(but also anxiously...waiting for them to realise)" hahaha ..oh ;_;
I tend to have nightmares about attack/helplessness! I used to do karate (was two belts away from black belt) and have done an intro course in jiujitsu and in both I had really good technique, but no power.. And you can have less strength than your opponent and still win... but apparently I always had too much less strength than everyone. This made me worry often if I'd be able to defend myself if need be... Luckily(?) for me, my boyfriend likes to rough-house, so I've had my fair share of 'training' now and can say that I feel a fair bit less defenceless now.. haha

ohhh! That sense of madness is a lot more interesting, I think...the lead face kind, not the institutional kind. (Although it could be interesting, but that's not the point!)
I didn't see Emily Carroll's dream blog before! That's really cool, they're kind of eerie with the 4 panels...I'm also amazed because I can never get my dreams out visually. It's like a "I can remember it but not see it" type of thing!
awww! LOL! Good thing for your bf! ;D
