First of all, I must tell you: It's not a book, it's a screenplay.
I'm having trouble establishing the overlying theme in my plot, which is a machine that allows people to enter a state of artificial dreaming in an attempt to better ready them for things like war or the CIA or other instances where a person would need to have quick problem solving and be able to notice key details in whatever situation they happen to be in. Whenever I come across an obstacle like data dumps in writing, I usually just take the SGU way out and introduce a new character who needs to have the concept explained to them. It's easy, but it's also boring and slightly cliché. Everyone in my plot already knows about the machine, as it's a very small cove of people. Because everyone in the story already knows everything there is to know, I just need to find a way to explain to the audience what the machine does. Should I do this through dialogue or action or both? I don't know :/ I need something D:
