What if Anakin's dreams get so strong he actually has seizures and passes out?
Maybe the awful "got ya" roll in the grass bit could be trimmed off and the sound from the deleted scene on the ship could be used to imply that Anakin has collapsed and is seeing his mother in peril.
This would help build sympathy for Anakin both from Padme and the audience and make their trip to Tatooine a little less reckless (seeing as he is supposed to be guarding her).
This would also help bolster the fugue state idea (that Vader is Anakin's subconscious Dark Side expressing itself during his unconscious moments).
This would be fairly easy to pull off by cutting from him struggling atop the creature to flashes of his dead mother. We would have to end with Padme rushing over to his limp body, at which point we'd cut back to the Obi Wan plotline. We already have a shot of Anakin tossing and turning in bed to cut back to after that. I wouldn't necessarily use it to set up the "fugue state" concept, but it could potentially expand on his justification for going to his Mother (though it really isn't in keeping with the OT for the viewer to see these visions, so I'm not sure it would be desirable, personally). My main problem is the horrible looking creature. If Anakin could be shown showing off bucking bronco style on something else it could be useful maybe.
My thoughts exactly
As for putting Dooku into TPM, I would have replaced Darth Sidious with him and used maybe some voice overs from the clone wars movie. The trade federation has to be re-dubbed whether it's an alien language or not IMO. I think that Dooku should be a main Villain who is constantly in search for a secret apprentice to kill Darth Sidious and take over, that explains why he trained Grievous and Ventress. I think I would make it so that he thinks Maul is dead but then once Ventress dies he goes and looks for another apprentice and ends up finding Grievous (Maul) again. Once Palpatine finds out about Dooku's plans, he sends Anakin to go kill him at the same time Obi-wan is sent to kill Grievous/Maul
