While I do think it's just a dream, it's certainly a whiz bang one. If I were you, I would be picking up a few books on how to submit movie treatments to agents and flesh it out more on a fictional level. It's got summer blockbuster scrawled all over it, with you being played by Bruce Willis!

One of the main reasons I think it has to be a dream is the whole, able to take over anything electrical aspect. I'm not sure that tracks, although all the quantum stuff is interesting. Popular culture has a way of getting through into our subconscious, and being on ATS could quite easily have added every ingredient you needed for your brain to have come up w/ this dream. I would streamline the concepts a bit (keep some of the alternate reality stuff, but to much might turn some folk off) and put a little more relationship angst (it's practically a prerequisite that you and your girlfriend were having trouble before all the action starts). Oh, yeah, and a scene with a dog.

I'm being totally serious here, countless books & movies are based on things first seen in a dream scape, and this is a very interesting twist to the Zombie genre that is hot right now but hasn't yet been done (at least to my knowledge).

Best of luck!

Even lucid I rarely can control every aspect of a dream, nor can I construct anything.
If I ever do have the ability to use telekinesis it requires so much constant concentration to use that without, fails to work. As for flying, I have a tenuous relationship with that, if it does work it's tough to control as well. Orientation, balance, speed, direction and other stuff that one wouldn't even consider. I've had instances where I had such depth of knowledge on how to do something that upon waking I'm thouroughly disappointed that I forget that part right away upon waking.

I thought most "dreamers" could do that. I have had telepathy before... It's hard to do, but when I concentrated on trying to move a file, a moved a file cabinet... I also blew up a building in a dream just by thinking it.

The problem with flying is if you think about orientation, balance, and all of that stuff, you'll make it harder on yourself to fly. Doubting in a dream messes with your sub conscious and makes what you are trying to do not work. If you are confident in your dream you tend to get what you want in the dream, but if you think something scary is going to happen, it usually will. It a whole bunch of mind tricks. Usually dreams do not have twist and turns, and if they do, that probably means it is a very strong dream trying to give you a message.

Zsaqulz78th:
I often know it's a dream, and simply waving my hand and willing something to happen rarely works. Eventually I have to focus in order to make it work. As for controlling the dream and world, that's something I can rarely do as the structure of a world never changes if I try to alter it. More often I can alter time and location, but when it comes to building a tailor made dream, no go.

Phlynx:
I don't think about the many aspects of flying if I can help it, nor am I trying to cmplicate it. It's when I actually do have some flying ability that I find that since full physics apply and I end up hurtling towards the ground from imbalance that I need to focus on those things.
-Edit
As for a desire, I have an insatiable wanderlust and thirst for adventure, but those don't explain the myriad of places and things that have no relation to anything I've come across in life. As for certain 'themes' like end of the world, zombies, etc; those are given to end up in a dream since everyone has come across them at one time or another.

Deathtribble:
I've actually written novels and stories based of my own dreams. Been making a few other projectsbased on those worlds where with many I have no need for embellishing the plot aside from filling small details. So much information from the dream is present I can write for hours if need be, which can lead to a short book worth of material.

That being said, I try to determine whether a certain dream is the construct of my own mind through various means, like going over daily events, recent things I've seen like movies, which isn't much, and stuff I've read. At most I may find as much as a term that was used to describe something, usually by myself, while the rest of the dream remains unrelated to anything else.

Nice dream bro. i just had one 2 nights ago where I had a shotty and was blowin away spiders the size of tires!

Sounds like you've been zoning on too much BSG/Caprica, Resident Evil, and general zombie movies...

Allowing your fear and paranoia at what could be overshadow what will be.

Good one! Made me actually register and reply, after months of reading here on ATS Around the same time as you, roughly late Feb, I had this weird dream, too.

I had escaped into the basement of an old mansion near the place I live, because the earth was under some kind of attack. Before taking shelter in the basement, I looked at the sun, and saw a ring/halo around it with weird symbols, kind of like the zodiac signs.. Then I suddenly saw a swarm of metal-ish flies/bugs attacking. I headed for the basement, but one of these things hit my arm. When I got to the basement, I had friends there with me, and one of them had some kind of special tools, designed to remove these flies/metal darts. My friend had it removed from my arm (didn't go very deep). We found that is was indeed some weird metal, folded into a dart, but when we unfolded it, we found it impossible to fold it back into the dart-like fly-shape

that was the most lucid part of the dream, and the only part I can remember now, brought to the surface of my memory by the OP's post

I haven't watched a movie like that for years. But, thanks anyway.

Interesting. Were they mechanical or real?
