Dreams and Book Ideas

I wonder how long has my brain been working on this story it decided to fill me in on this morning… I’m talking about the start of a high fantasy story, information about some of the characters and the world it’d take place in, plus ways in which many of my ideas about this world could fit into a high fantasy scenario, all of which I have dreamed about this morning. It was a very lucid dream, including moments when I woke up, analyzed some of the ideas, made some changes, then went back to sleep to let my subconscious figure out what to do with said changes.
The idea itself seems quite nice, not to mention reasonably original. Of course, since my subconscious created it, it’d be very strange if I’d think it sucks. Still, I did make several changes to it after waking up, changes which include turning a secondary character into the most important one, while also significantly altering her appearance and moving some ideals from the mind of another character into hers. I was very frustrated at my lack of drawing skills because I could see how she had to look so clearly after I woke up that I felt I had to draw her. I gave up the idea and settled for drawing pictures of her in my mind, of course.
Who knows, if I’ll still be alive and have a fully functional brain ten years from now, I might actually get to it. But right now I’m just trying to write down what I already know, and that’s going very slowly. I’ve been struggling with it for several hours and all I have are some general traits and the appearance of two characters, nothing else. It’s so frustrating! Writing is so slow and words are such a weak form of communication! I think too much and too fast for my poor communications skills to be able to keep up, plus that my thoughts are in pictures and feelings and all sorts of concepts which can’t be clearly explained in words, or at least not by me.
