Keeping writing materials beside my bed has honed my ability to remember my dreams and when I manage to grab at paper every morning (harder with a small child) I've discovered many of my dreams are worththe effort. <br /><br />I do definitely believe in dream interpretation but I don't think it's something learned from any book or prophetic or anything-- just a way of understanding yourself better. I have repeated motifs in my dreams: a new house, a forgotten pet who always doing just fine, my teeth falling out. One trick I've learned for understanding the theme of a dream is to pay attention to my word voice when I start writing it down-- and when you're writing a dream while you're still half asleep youtend not to worry about the right words!<br /><br />Anyhow, a lot of my favorite story seeds have come from dreams. Oddly, my finished manuscripts are all non-dream derived. I guess I want to save them until I have a setting worthy of some of the most polished jewels of my imagination. <br /><br />Sometimes I wake up with echoes of dialog far more witty than what i write awake ringing in my ears. Apparently my subconscious is a much smarter and imaginative storyteller than I am. I do think a LOT of dreams are stories assembled from semi-random firings and man, my sleeping brain spins them well.Chrysoula Tzavelashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03000416848682835199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687684312197484895.post-19449823648214755342011-04-08T12:47:07.850-05:002011-04-08T12:47:07.850-05:00I think it was meant to be a book or something for...I think it was meant to be a book or something for you to remember it in such detail.

I usually forget them as soon as I wake up. But the really strange ones usually stick with me and then I have to email them to you.Kimnoreply@blogger.com
