How many of you have ever used dreams, whether yours or someone else’s, as inspiration for a story idea?
I sometimes have very vivid dreams, and I do use them as the germ of an idea for a story. I’ve been known to use my husband’s dreams too; he tends to dream spooky stuff! In fact, I’m working on a story right now that was inspired by one of his dreams.
Where do you get your writing inspiration?

I have used dreams as story ideas before. Only my own dreams but it would be interesting to try to use someone else’s dreams…I would worry that I either a) couldn’t do it justice or b) would go off on a tangent that would be unrecognizable to the original dreamer. Maybe those things don’t matter though; after all, it wouldn’t not be an attempt at an actual documentation of the dream…
