Here is a rough animatic w/Rebecca's music/Lyrics.
Originally there was no song planned for the episode. I conceptualized it a lot based on the Roy Orbison song "In Dreams":
"I close my eyes then I drift away
Into the magic night, I softly say
A silent prayer like dreamers do
Then I fall asleep to dream
My dreams of you
In dreams I walk with you
In dreams I talk to you
In dreams you're mine all of the time
We're together in dreams, in dreams"
The reason I gravitated toward this song is that not only can it be looked at as a sad longing, but it can also be said to go "a little too far" into obsession.
David Lynch saw this potential when he used it in his film "Blue Velvet."
When we pitched the episode, I asked Rebecca if she would want to add one for us, based on Roy Orbison's song. She said yes and we got a song!
