Dreams

Alright, guys, it's J here. I would like to discuss dreams. No, I'm not talking about the cliche "Hopes and dreams." I'm talking about literal dreams. The weird movies you watch when you go to sleep. You know what I mean, right? Yes, you're a smart person. Brownie points all around.

Anyway. Dreams are widely known for being weird. Many people went crazy over Inception because it "portrayed dreams accurately." Well, I protest this. If Inception actually portrayed dreams accurately: DiCaprio would have morphed between an elephant and a monkey several times while his dead wife wouldn't actually kill anyone, she would just almost kill everybody but then just start laughing at the last second and disappear. Don't forget Tom Hardy and Joseph Gordon-Levitt would be fighting the entire movie screaming "WHAT DID YOU DO WITH BATMAN!" and even this wouldn't be an accurate portrayal of dreams. Dreams are weird people.

Now, I must assure you, I'm not here just to rip on dreams and Inception (a movie I actually really like). I am here to talk about how helpful dreams actually can be to a writer. They are so full of odd ideas that one of  them might actually be good. If you've been stuck on what to do for your next scene/book sometimes sleeping is really the best option. Even if you never use any of your dreams in your actual work, paying attention to them at least gets you creatively thinking again.

I've found a lot of inspiration from my dreams, even though I don't think I've ever actually used my dreams in my stories directly, I still ponder my dreams that get the creative juices flowing.

So, yeah. Listen to your dreams. Literally. There's a lot of good stuff that you can replay in your mind and then do what you want with it.
