I've just started writing my first story, I didn't realize how difficult it was! Anyway, the story has been going through mind for a while and especially at night. During that time between turning out the light and falling asleep I run through scenes, not usually in sequence with the storyline. Then I often dream about differing scenarios but when I wake up I can't always remember them, I can usually recall bits but that annoys me even more. Does anybody else have this problem and any solutions?
Can't say I've ever dreamt about a story in progress, but snippets of erotic dreams have inspired or made their way into my stories.
Never has happened to me but I wouldn't mind if it did ;)
DPW, I've "dreamed" a few of My stories. I have went to bed and had a dream or a stream of thought about what I think would make a good story. The only thing I can tell you is to "develop" it in your mind and go over it several times until you can either get up and jot down the highlights or morning comes!
I've had more than one night I woke up with a great story idea and had to run downstairs to jot some things down before I lost it! Creativity doesn't care about time... and I hate it when I can't get My mind to shut down at night! I've laid awake all night going over and over a story idea in My head...
