Nadia: It's time to put on your jammie-jams, snuggle into bed, and...play an old video game? If sleep is eluding you in the real world, join myself (Nadia) and my husband (David) as we recall some of our favorite dreamscapes from our favorite digital adventures. Dreams are mana for creative types. We spend half our lives wandering through worlds that lack borders and foundations, yet we know so little about the true nature of dreams. Writers know it, artists know it, and you can bet the cool side of your pillow that video game creators know it, too. Bed down with us as we talk game dreamscapes, from the cotton candy fields of Mother's Magicant to the entire Zelda game that's merely a dream on the lid of a leviathan's eye.
