\nDreams have helped shape my waking creativity. I often take bits and pieces from my dreams and add them to my stories. Dreaming is true phenomenological\u00a0immersion<\/strong>\u2014one’s brain is activated and engaged when dreaming and one responds in the dream as though it is reality. I’ll often wake from a dream and it will haunt me all day long, just as a good novel might after finishing it.<\/p>\n
