Assignment 3- Dreams and Archetypal Characters

Keep a dream diary for a weekend and create a scenario based off of that.
At the time, I did not realize that we had to write the story..

I listed out what I could remember from my short dreams though

-Food Machine Maker
-Giant Snail
-School
-Contest of sorts revolving around eating a Buffalo
-Academy
-Laboratory
-Thief Guild

Thinking on the spot, if I had to make a story using some or all of these elements, the concept would probably be something like..

"Power sources in this world are growing scarce, but lead scientist Sigmund Abirov developed a means to utilize the high number of buffalos found in the region to our own advantage. Mechanical energy, used throughout the world in rollercoasters, machines and household appliances, was really put to the test in Mollusk Academy of Physics and Motion when Sigmund Abirov claimed that with our recent advances in nanotechnology, it is possible to use the high levels of energy and physical exertion that buffalos create while stampeding and literally use them as individual batters. They are saying that this is the closest thing to "perpetual energy" that mankind has ever developed. At 6 in the morning and once more at 6 in the evening, if you make your way to Middle Streets at the center of our city you'll see the thousand buffalo march and I swear you can see the already lit lights of our streets glow ever more incandescent!"

The story may visit themes like animal cruelty, the effects of job loss in the electrical industry, an intense sense of "Utopia" and the reality behind their city.
