I Am a Dreamer and a Thinker

If I can't sleep, I hug my satin pillow, close my eyes, and begin to compose a story (or continue one) in my head.

By the time I construct the setting, name the characters, and set up the scene in my brain, I am usually asleep, deep and easy.

I don't know why I do it this way - I just do it.

It's better than any pill or medicine I know.

And the best thing is, I wake up not forgetting what I had thought out the night before. Everything falls into place.

It's a wonderful feeling. I feel "whole" again.

Does it ever happen where the story you are creating continues into your dreams? Like where you become the audience to a story that your mind continues to create and/or progress the story on its own?

I think we all have a desire to direct our dreams, and some people can do that with greater success than others.

"Let me sleep on it" certainly helps me organize chaos into categories and components, but then I just fall asleep with the chaos and awaken with the conclusion and I don't get to see what happens during the sleeping part :)

@MaryJanine

Thanks.

I'm forever looking for "how to" clues so I can tell myself what to dream about :)

@Heartlander Try thinking about something that happened to you recently..or maybe even that week or today...that you just loved and would like to experience again.

Story plots evade me recently.... Even the majority of TV stuff ifind tedious.

But some nights not even that helps an before I know it it’s 4 am an I have trilogy movie script.

If only that worked for everyone! But I will try it next time I have trouble falling asleep.

@4thdimensiondream If you like to write or even compose, it will work. Trust me.

@Pianist1234 I hug my satin pillowcase. It keeps away the wrinkles.
