I had a bizarre dream this morning, but I can't remember it for anything now. It would have been nice to have the time to write it down.
I've been considering starting a dream journal for a while. My dreams rarely fail to amuse me, but just like my story ideas—or, more extremely than my story ideas—they fade in and out of my mind. I've tried just rehearsing events that happened, but if I don't write them down—sometimes telling others doesn't even do it—it'll be gone by the end of Genetics class.
Dreams are good for a lot more than vague amusement, too. The idea for Chemists came from one of my dreams. The idea for Entrapped came from the dream of a friend of a friend. Even if loads of pons firing is total rubbish, there are some interesting little gems to be retrieved in all of it.
Would you be interested in reading some of my dreams on here? I still have a few fairly recent ones—and the legendary twin squirrels dream—I could put, though I can't guarantee I'll remember anything that comes up later, or have any sort of predictability as to whether I dream something interesting or not. Nor can I say any of it will be worth reading, but it could give one of us some inspiration, I think.
Any recommendations for dream journals? I still have a mostly-empty moleskine (apparently they're a big deal) that I used a bit in NaNoWriMo, and I had been considering using it. I'm probably not going to be able to type everything up here in time, so I'll have to write it down somehow.
Also, I name a lot of my blog posts after songs...
I'd certainly be interested in reading a dream journal. Maybe It'd inspire stories!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the input! Hopefully we can all glean something interesting from it.
DeleteOh, gosh, I LOVE reading people's crazy dreams. I'd definitely enjoy a dream journal of sorts!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of which, my dream last night involved a strange horror story, talking sharks, mobs of angry Socialists, and a poodle named Austria. Beat that.
I'll start it up at some point, then.
DeleteI'll probably lead off the series with my infamous twin squirrels dream, then.
Haha, yes, the legendary Kabuto squirrels. XD
