Ah, I'm just addicted to introspection. *grins*

I think there really is a trick to hauling the character-shapes and also the communication far enough "up" into the waking and verbal consciousness. Once they're up there it gets easier to remember what the characters "say" long enough to sketch out plots and so forth. Of course, that's also when they start getting obtrusive.
