I have an idea for a story, but I can't get my ideas out onto paper in an organized way...like, it's really complicated, or there is just a lot of info...
Basically the story revolves around present day earth, but the story revolves around dreams. You see...in my story, there are three dimensions: The Awake world, the dream world, and Limbo.
The awake world is the real world, souls inhabit an organic form and live out their days until that form expires.
The dream world is the world where the soul goes when the organic form is sleeping. It is also where the soul goes after it dies, where it waits until it is put into a new body. Anything can happen in the dream world. Well, not anything, there are a set of rules and limitations, like, a soul cannot be invincible, they cannot create something out of nothing, etc. Also, when the soul goes back into the body, as the body wakes up, it's memory is wiped clean by the officials in Limbo, so the organic form doesnt compromise the existence of this other dimesnion (it could cause mass hysteria), but, fragments are always missed, and the humans chalk it up to their imaginations. when they return to the dream world, their memories are restored.
Limbo is the dimension between the awake world and the dream world. it is basically a DMV that is fused with a post office. Souls wait hours trying to get into and out of the dream world. they need to stand in various lines, fill out many forms, and its a frustrating, tedious place.
Ok, theres more...now for the good guys and the bad guys
GOOD GUYS:
They are called the Sleepwalkers...basically, all they are are souls that do not have their minds wiped after leaving the dream world. Although, they hardly ever leave, seeing as they have no organic form, and can only appear as ghost like images. They protect the dream world, and the souls in them, from the Rogue Walkers. They are the elite, security unit, and are specially trained to keep the dream world, as well as the awake world, safe
BAD GUYS
Nightmares: These "things" are corrupted souls, and are the source of all evil. All souls are originally good. Nightmares are the ones that grew insane, and mutated while in the dream world, awaiting a new host. when in a body, they use it for all sorts of evils. These are the things that humans see in their dreams. the only thing stopping them from destroying the soul (souls can be destroyed in the dream world) are the sleepwalkers, who capture/kill the nightmares before they destroy the soul ((it's like when you wake up from a dream just before you die))
ok, the story isn't completely worked out yet, but thats the world....there are plot holes, I know, but, as I said, it's complicated to explain, but I have it all sorted out in my head...I hate that feleing...when you know what you want to write, but cant get it into words
