Dream a little dream
Word to the wise: don’t schedule your kids for two summer day-camps the same week, read the dates better–s’all I’m saying. . .
Do you dream? They say we all do–but I wonder. . . Better question: Do you remember your dreams?
It always freaks my DH out. I dream in very detailed vignettes of action. Pretty much the same way I see a story when I am working on it. When I dream, I can tell you when I wake the make and model of a car if it was in the dream or the brand of clothing being worn. And from time to time, there are …um… unexpected “guests” in said dreams–draw from that what you will.
Is it a writer’s mind that gives it so much color and detail, or is the color and detail what makes me a writer?
How about you? Do you dream? Are they vivid, memorable?
EXTREMELY vivid dreams.
Nearly holographic. And yeah, I remember them pretty well.
And the nightmares are just as vivid, terrifying, actually. But durn if they wouldn’t make terrific horror stories.
I also notice that, if I don’t write, the dreams become even MORE intense–so yes, there’s some kind of connection.
I remember my dreams pretty well, when I have them. I have especially interesting ones right before my monthly cycle.
Oh…was that
hehe Mik . . . only then…. mine are ALL the time!
Raine–hmm that’s interesting. My jightmares tend to be even more vivid, when I wake there’s remembered tastes and smells–not so much w/ regular dreams
I have even woke in the middle of the dream and being totally anal, I will sit with my coffee and work out the rest.
Sadly, I rarely remember my dreams.
Sometimes. Mostly it’s the mood of the dream with little flashes of what occurred. Recently it’s been mostly ghosties and gothic-like dreams.
Amie–that’s too bad
Bailey–ghosty and gothic, maybe a new genre for you?
