Pro tip: My friend said my dream about the grocery store was 'too linear'

He pointed out that I just walked in and bought milk, no flying or sudden lava pits. Now I try to add at least one impossible physics rule per dream. What's a good baseline weirdness quota?

Honestly, that's a solid plan... I started doing something similar after a dream where I was just doing laundry. Now I try to make sure gravity works wrong in at least one scene, like the couch floating up to the ceiling.

I read about a writer who puts one impossible thing in every chapter.

Wait, you can just add weird stuff like that? I used to get stuck trying to make everything make sense, but hearing you put a floating couch in a normal scene actually makes me want to try it.
