Imagine a dream you have recently experienced. Perhaps you were falling. Perhaps you were flying. Perhaps people were chasing you, or even worshipping you. Perhaps you died.
Now, imagine that the world you saw in that dream was real. You really did fall, fly, ran, or died. Maybe every one of our dreams is not so much a fabrication of the mind, but instead a truth, an alternate reality based on what choices could have been made. The entire fabric of our reality could be entirely different from another. Anything is possible. Perhaps as you sleep your consciousness doesn't so much as rest as it travels to another body, another form. Perhaps when you die, you permanently move on to a random world.
Now, imagine that you found the secret to traversing those worlds without dying or dreaming because of a terrible phenomenon. Something devoured your own. Darkness overwhelmed all that existed in your realm, it was eating away everything you ever knew, everything you ever loved. But one day, you found a way to jump into your dreams, jump into those alternate realities and live there instead. The darkness is at your heels, of course. But you aren't dead yet. This is a story of survival.
Your character could be a part of a group of characters who have found out how to jump from world to world together [if you have any ideas on how to connect that, let me know. I was thinking maybe a shared hallucinogenic high, which is an idea I got from inception.] Or perhaps your character is a variable. Someone that the jumpers come into contact to in each world, but has a different attitude or style in every world. You might even be the driving force behind the darkness, secretly watching over the jumpers, hunting and laughing. The choice is yours.
Any external ideas? Any suggestions? Any questions? Perhaps any interest?
