For many writers, the ethereal landscape of the dreaming mind has generated countless wonders that amaze the dreamer and the reader alike.
Coleridge’s Kubla Khan sprang forth from an opium-influenced dream. Mary Shelley first met Frankenstein while she was dreaming. Mr. Hyde (and Dr. Jekyl) crept up on a feverish Robert Louis Stevenson in a dream. Edgar Allen Poe was the master of dream-mining, putting the quickly evaporating tales into print to share with the rest of us (and cause a few nightmares, too).
Today’s question: do you take inspiration from your dreams? Ever woke up, scribbled down the nonsense and tried to decipher it? Nuggets of wisdom? Puzzles to unlock? or just gibberish? If so, tell us about the experience and the result.
