challenges on all fronts

Last week, we finally had our long pending discussion on new games development and the challenge put forth was to come up with 50 new games in 1 year time. It sounded really ridiculous at that time. I mean how can you come up with a new game in 1 week time? But we started with our first game and I soon realized that it is really a very trivial task. As long as games are simple, the target can be achieved. So we are done with our first game. But now we have run into a huge roadblock. How do we keep on coming with ideas for new games? As of now, I am just stuck. Let us see if the team comes up with some good ideas.
I am still in the doldrums. Do I want to maintain the status quo or do I want to move on? The moment I thought of moving on, I started dreaming of lost baggages and of catching trains. My mind is really fertile :-)
I had been having a lot of dreams these days and even had one huge nightmare. In this frenzied dream, I was jumped upon by a ghost (a mummy, can't be anything else) and it was more than enough to wake me up :-) Are dreams really portenders of future events? Do I really want to know about my future? What if I learn the secret of what ever is going on around me and this knowledge cripples my decision making ability because I would be agonizing over the rippled effects of my action? I guess that is why the mind is so ignorant of all those things that have already happened or of things that are going to happen? Very interesting train of thought :-)
