As for dreams while sleeping, I wake up frequently with "ah-ha!" moments and, much to my wife's chagrin, have written as many as ten pages of notes from material that came to me subconsciously.<br /><br />Great post!

But I do get some of my best ideas in that half-asleep state just as I'm falling asleep or waking up. And also in the shower and on walks.<br /><br />I'm so glad you remember yours and get to use them in your great books, Drew! :-)Jodie Rennerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17180607353893233389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4954486699810607306.post-56931135166255995702013-12-11T10:06:15.089-08:002013-12-11T10:06:15.089-08:00John Lennon: "I'm Only Sleeping."

And I made Whoopi Goldberg laugh.

For example, last night I was staring in a movie and acting in an underwater scene. But none of it has ever been useful in a novel. I'm jealous of people who come up with story ideas while asleep. I usually have to sweat mine out with cardio. L.J. Sellershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10213491074676394406noreply@blogger.com
