1. The idea came after reading Grave Peril, about dreams and how Harry could almost control and get inside his and talk to the people. I thought it would be cool if he had to go into someone else's dream in order to save them.
2. The first chapter I wrote was the Murphy dream sequence, in one sitting. I wrote the rest of the story around that and then went back and tweaked that chapter to fit the rest of the story. It was never supposed to be as epic as it got, lol.
3. Changes and tweaks made: - started out in my mind as being a very Harry/Murphy fic and then Susan suddenly appeared and it went very Harry/Susan for awhile, until I decided to send Susan to New York and got the Harry/Murphy back on track.
- Harry was originally going to do more dream diving after Murphy woke up, to wake the others and Jake was going to be able to help. Scrapped the idea because the flow of the story stopped completely with it, I didn't want to have to deal with the 'if Jake can do it, maybe Bob can do it to and that would be weird' issue, and it seemed more reasonable for Harry to be let off by the Council for just going into one dream instead of three or four. The universal consciousness idea to wake them up came as I was falling asleep one night. I was very pleased since I was horrendously stuck. I still have half a chapter with him in Catalina's dream.
- Gave Mrs. Forrester a bit of a bigger role after Ama liked her and Forrester interacting, as well as bringing Jake back for a lot more than he was originally going to do. Diego and Rosario Hernandez got a bigger part too and Nick Myers got a reprieve at the end, he was originally going to be a bad guy.
