So, I have realized how cool dreams can be in providing ideas that you may have never thought of, and it would be cool to hear any weird dreams that have given you ideas at any time.

The dream I had last night provided an idea for a strange artifact (well, one strange and one helpful), and even though the realistic happenstances might not be, well, realistic, it is still a cool idea (let me know what you think!).

The dream starts out at the crime scene: a building which was in a severe fire. There was a lot of rubble, most of which had been cleared away. The staircase to the second floor was intact, but the walls and ceiling were gone. I knew that this building had a bar on the second floor, and that at the time of the fire 46 people were in the bar. I also knew none of them survived, and I was trying to figure out what happened. Even though the police and fire marshal had already combed the area, I thought they may have missed something.

As I was looking around the first floor, I walked into a room which appeared to have not been in use for a long time. Much of it was inaccessible, but near the entrance was a nightstand. I opened up the nightstand and saw something strange. It was an old alarm clock, though it looked older that any I had ever seen before. As I went to pick it up, I noticed that it was moving backwards. When I held it in my hand, I was transported back to what I knew was the bar that had burned down. As I looked around, I saw one man who stood out. He was at the counter and was very angry at one of the barmaids. What drew my attention was that he was holding in his hand a lighter. It seemed out of place. Suddenly, I realized why. It was lit, and the flame seemed to react to his anger. He started yelling louder, and the flame grew larger. As soon as he made a move towards her, the flame grew and engulfed him, then exploded outwards.

Coming back to my senses, I tried to find this lighter in my dream. I spent what felt like an eternity combing through the debris, but to no avail. The lighter was gone. Somebody took it, but I had no idea who, since the police didn't mention finding anything with any of the bodies. Unfortunately, I woke before I could continue, but it almost seemed like I was an agent for Warehouse 13 trying to find an artifact that has disappeared.

So, what do you think? And feel free to write about any dreams that you've had which seem strange.
