That is very inte...Thanks for chiming in, Elinor!<br /> That is very interesting about those two authors. I suspected that there had to be more of that going on in the writerly world than I was immediately aware of, since those creative/wordy types can get pretty wild in the mind!<br /> And, yes, that Irish princess story sounds very nice! :-) Let me know if you finish it off!<br /> Have a good and writerly day!<br /> ElizabethE.

I've had at least two...What a great discussion! I've had at least two dreams that I thought would make good stories - one was sci-fi about a giant scorpion (*shudders*), but I just wrote the plot down and don't plan to write the story because I don't write sci-fi; the other was me as an ancient Irish princess. I loved that one and started a story, fleshing it out as I went along, though the important details were all there. <br />As far as authors who used dreams, I googled that question and found out that Robert Louis Stevenson dreamt of a doctor with split personality disorder and Mary Shelley dreamt of a corpse coming back to life! Interesting stuff. I'd like to know about more famous books inspired by dreams!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10320697638658418921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4034836370485944886.post-66370307307821403882012-07-16T21:01:19.154-07:002012-07-16T21:01:19.154-07:00Oooooh!
I Love it!
That is a great premise. How...Oooooh!<br /> I Love it! <br /> That is a great premise. How many words has it gotten to at this time? That's got enough umph to sustain a novel, I'm thinking! <br /> Let me know if you need a beta reader! ;-)<br /> <br /> Thanks so much for sharing! <br /> Isn't sci-fi just so much fun? :-)E.

Since you asked, here...You're most welcome. : )<br />Since you asked, here's a quick rundown of my dream:<br />I had just been employed by this massive futuristic/sci-fi-ish company of some kind. I have no idea what the company actually did, but I was hired for the Research and Development department. Part of the hiring process was some kind of brain scan that determined your strong points and abilities. Mine showed up off-the-charts strong in creativity but lacking in math ability (not that far from the truth!), so much so that they paired me with an android as my on-the-job partner. Their reasoning was that my brain was totally outside the box and creative while his was 100% mathematical and inside the box, so I could come up with the crazy new development ideas while he did the math to make them work.<br />The longer I worked with him, though, the more human he started seeming. My employers assured me that it was how the computer in his brain was programmed: to observe humans and evolve accordingly to become more human-like. Being a Christian, I knew that couldn't be true, but that was the only explanation I could get from anyone... until my partner the android explained it to me himself and revealed that he was really a human and that being made into an android was not his choice.<br />That was where the dream ended and I woke up... but my 'off-the-charts creativity' took over from there, and there are two stories waiting to be written from it!Mary Ruth Pursselleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03325447738032828151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4034836370485944886.post-75192397838740907582012-07-15T09:32:31.506-07:002012-07-15T09:32:31.506-07:00That's it exactly, Mary Ruth! :-) Experiencin...That's it exactly, Mary Ruth! :-) Experiencing the dream was fun in itself, and then you get to pounce of writing-fodder as well. ;-)<br /> Conversations with fellow "story spinners" can have the most uplifting and inspiring moments! <br /> Sadly, I don't have the opportunity for many of those in person, so the internet has been a goldmine of writerly connections for me. Case in point, this blog! And you leaving your lovely comment, like a drop of encouraging rain straight into the downspout to my creative brain.<br /> So.... Thanks for connecting! Thanks very, very much! :-)<br /> And I'd love to hear what your dream was about. Those can come up with the wildest, and most amazing, combinations!E.

Like you said, "LOVE it!"<br />My dreams are usually too nonsensical and bizarre to be much use as story material, but there have been one or two times - one in particular that stands out - when I've dreamed up a story line, or at least the foundation for one. It was a pretty cool feeling to wake up from a full night's rest with a brand new story idea as a bonus!Mary Ruth Pursselleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03325447738032828151noreply@blogger.com
