Transmundane
Nothing but a daydream
Current Stage: Plotting
Milestones: 1 / 12 (8%)
Execution:
A bastardized visual novel. It would, instead of letting the user choose which path to follow, let people choose which character to follow. Also, I'd like to have it all animated by different animators and have live action sequences for portions of the story that take place in reality as well.
Of course, this is ideally. Otherwise, it may become a novel or a series of light novels. Animation might still work, even.

Summary:
Brooke has always thought her dreams felt a little too real. When a group of people come to visit her in her dreams repeatedly, she finally realizes that her subconscious is a little different and she starts to discover the realms of the collective subconscious and the people who dwell there.
Here, she has the power to enter different people's subconscious and affect them, as do the others who walk among them, but the people are split into two factions: Those who think they should change the subconscious of people to help them and those who believe it's best that people work out their own problems.
Both factions want Brooke to join them and Brooke doesn't know what she's going to do. Luckily, she can leave whenever she wants.

Universe:
It's the collective subconscious. Lots of abstract symbolism everywhere. More details when I actually do the damn research.
And real life consists of school, home and that's really about it.

Inspiration:
Embarrassing as it is, the idea comes from a dream I had once. The scene
that this whole story comes from, however, is quite a ways off from
ever coming to fruition. Sixth book in the series away.
Notes:
I need books on Jungian theory. And a couple for dummies psych books.
