DREAMING IN CHARACTER, cont.

If you Google "dreaming in character" all sorts of interesting stuff turns up…lots of situations where actors start "dreaming in character" while doing a part, or gamesters start dreaming from the POV of their game character. Here's one example from an ARTICLE about the actor Peter Krause:



That Krause's work bleeds into his personal life is no surprise given how deeply he immerses himself in his roles. In the past he's been so preoccupied with Nate's plight in Six Feet Under that he's found himself dreaming in character. The strain of portraying these troubled souls has even manifested itself physically. "My lowest point was probably right before We Don't Live Here Anymore," Krause says. "I had this really bad case of hives all over my body from the stress."
