I, on the other hand, have always struggled to remember my dreams. All I can do is daydream. One morning, while daydreaming about Robyn’s nighttime dream, I had a vision…a mysterious civilization of intelligent beings, living inside a human brain. At the time Robyn had her dream, we were brainstorming on a pilot she was working on for FX called N.I.M.B.Y. (Not In My Backyard), about a group of mentally ill people trying to integrate in a normal neighborhood. We were reading R.D. Laing’s The Divided Self, Oliver Sacks,Carl Jung and others, and exploring other projects with the brain theme. So Robyn’s dream came as a timely synchronicity. We began to imagine all the possibilities of a boy going inside his father’s brain,and thought it would make a great story.
