I hope readers will enjoy creating Reckless Dreaming as a movie in their mind. That is ahead of any possible theatrical production. - Nick David, Screenwriter
ENLIGHTENMENT, LOVE, AND A STING ARE JUST AROUND THE CORNER AND YET SO FAR AWAY. WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF RECKLESS DREAMING!
Imagine a game of Strip Chess surrounded everywhere you turn by strip the soul! Michael and Tara use everything including their wits for weapons! Meanwhile, no knowledge of chess will be needed to determine who is winning as their match progresses.
Chess masters Tara, 33, and Michael, 34, stage a high stakes match in San Francisco that their chess rival fathers never got a chance to play. Michael is an intense "win at any cost" player with his own obsessions. Tara is an embattled singer and Eastern Religion buff. As a reformed alcoholic, she leaves a Buddhist monastery on a quest for enlightenment and love. Tara keeps one vital secret from Michael: She has a brain tumor which could kill her at any time! Not knowing her condition, Michael hires Destiny, a possible girlfriend who is into the occult, to play mind games on Tara. However, Destiny plans much more than just mental harm. In a class, Destiny receives a device that helps her enter other people's dreams. Then, as Destiny remarks, "What could they charge me with, reckless dreaming?" Meanwhile, psychotic "fellow-dreamer" Dwayne pursues a Tarot card riddle which doesn't bode well for Tara! A female artist influences events in unique ways. Additional obstacles stack the deck against our heroine. More conflict brews in the subplot. It reveals that Tara, Michael, and the rest of the cast are pitted against the unscrupulous producer Wesley. It's all yours to find out if a sting causes the plot and subplot to merge into multiple twist climaxes!

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Nick David was born in San Francisco and grew up in the Bay Area. He acted in many high school plus college plays at UC Davis and UC Berkeley. After that, Nick performed alongside Robin Williams in the improvisational "Committee Workshop" in San Francisco.
Nick David has spent much of his spare time in the enjoyable reading of dozens of books on Eastern and Western philosophy. Nick found the subject of enlightenment particularly interesting. He has always been an avid player of strategy games. Plus, Tarot cards are a significant factor in Reckless Dreaming due to Mr. David's interest in them.
Also, his passion for art comes into play as an artist named Madeleine influences multiple events. And, as many people are, Nick is fascinated by erotic subject matter and the meaning of dreams.
With plenty of heartfelt knowledge, Nick David began writing Reckless Dreaming. He developed the daring characters and plotline over an extensive period of time. Along the way, Nick sought out and took the best of various professional script critics' advice. Meanwhile, Mr. David always maintained his overall vision for the work. That included ensuring that sex and nudity are never gratuitous. Rather, they occur or don't occur based on plot and character needs.
Each spiritual viewpoint must be authentic and represented fairly as well.
Furthermore, as a lifetime San Francisco area resident, Nick intimately knows the unique locations he has chosen. That even includes one which Hollywood Set Designers would need to create because it no longer exists!
Thank you for your interest!
