Dream Writing

"There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls." - George Carlin

When you awaken catch a dream or two.

Emerge out of dream time with attention, slow moves and care. Enjoy the re-entry into reality. This may help jumpstart your day.

Let your dreams provide ideas also for your write life. Use the clusters of imagery as mosaics for the development of stories or poems.

For a few days, keep a tablet by the bed and take notes about your dreams as soon as you awaken. If you wait too long they will escape. Capture images as quickly as you can.

Don't try to interpret or judge the images, just make notes of amusements and strange connections.

Creative Write:  Begin by writing a collage of dream images.  Let your write mind collaborate.  Play and notice what develops for a story or poem.
