The aforementioned WoD reminds me a great deal of the movie Inception. Although I'm not as smart as Leo DiCaprio's character in said movie, I was able to artfully use hypnopompic... in a text message.
Before I explain how I used the WoD, let me first tell you about a little obsession of mine and Ashley's called The Lizzie Bennet Diaries. For absolutely any of you out there who appreciate Pride and Prejudice, you will like this web series. The LBD is a modern day adaption of P&P by putting it in the form of a modern day web series led by the fictional grad student Lizzie Bennet. The entire plot of P&P then ensues in a modern adaption with jobs in place of marriage, cats in place of sisters, and Los Angeles in place of London. It's seriously amazing for those who appreciate good literature.
The LBD appears on YouTube every Monday and Thursday with a new episode, and today's episode had my favorite character in the entire franchise, Darcy. I love it when he's on camera, especially the guy who plays him.
While in the midst of a texting conversation with Ashley, that went exactly like this:
Ashley: "Btw. I watched LBD a bajillion times today."
Jillian: "I <3 Darcy. And his smartical knowledge of the media. He's hypnopompic."
Ashley: "You would..."
No, the character of Darcy is not the most delightful, sociable person in the world, but he is nonetheless endearing. I'm sure there are 13-year-old girls all over the Internet pining for him. He's in their dream in one way or another. I know he's in mine.
