I had a vivid dream last night. It was about a non-existent Twin Peaks-type show about a group of people in a New England town. They found themselves transported to a parallel universe that was exactly like theirs, except that they themselves were tiny and inconspicuous, like in the Irwin Allen series Land of the Giants.
But then it gradually emerged that some scientist had found the mode that transported them, and they could transport back to their regular world. And that there was a way for them to increase their size to one that was normal in this world, and become the same people as in their regular world, except that they could change things. And that they were coming to this parallel universe to make Groundhog Day-like changes to avoid some big tragedy. And that the group had originally just been the scientist, but had gradually grown to include more and more others. And that the people in the group had developed a brotherhood among each other, with an initiation ritual for new people joining, involving dancing a mazurka in a circle around a circular table. And that the storyline was gradually moving toward their making the changes that would fundamentally transform the outcome.
Maybe I could go to Hollywood and sell that concept. But then I'd have to watch the show!
