Dreaming in Cinematic Nightmares

A few nights ago I had a realization and wondered... do non-film students dream in camera movements & well lit scenes?

One of the major complaints of the various cinema studies courses at college, was that learning to dissect all aspects of a movie ruin the magic. No longer can I simply sit back and watch a movie with the idiotic bliss of god Josh Duhamel is hot... My attention is constantly drawn to the decision of the camera angle, the mood and colors of the scene, the placement of action and wonder how they all relate to the storytelling, when most of the time it's really much simpler. Granted there are the indy house directors who really do use all of these variables in their choice of storytelling, but I don't think that Las Vegas goes much deeper than making everyone look hot.

So my conscious naturally drifts into my sub, my dreams are well lit, with perfect key lights, my birds eye view swoops with stedi-cam precision and when I run, my dream switches into the Cloverfield effects. And I find myself telling the camera what to do and what to look at in my dreams.

I sometimes wonder if I'll ever be able to revert back to that child whos imagination was allowed to soar without the aid of a dolly crane.
