"Just as our world does not exist when we sleep, the whole universe does not exist when God is in deep slumber..."
I think this opening line from the video was pretty insightful. Obviously, people are unaware of their surroundings when they are asleep. Unless they are incredibly light sleepers, the likelihood of the average person knowing exactly what is happening around them while asleep is quite slim. I think it would be cool to write a story about someone that is asleep and having a vivid dream but then wakes up and lives their dream and has the ability to control it this time. It would feel like deja vu because of the dream but then the person would be able to control exactly what happens while awake. I think an interesting twist to add to this story would be that other people also have similar dreams so their destinies could be linked in a way. These intertwined stories would also be a way in which to incorporate mini-stories into the larger plotline.
