Inspiration from Dreams


Dreams do not inspire me. This is probably due to the fact that all of my dreams are so odd and far-fetched I cannot see any personal application to my life or an event that happened. Often my dreams happen in some far off land with weird people or fictional characters. I’ve had dreams in the Hunger Games with Mickey Mouse and Justin Bieber, dreams that took place in a bouncy house or a giant Chuck e Cheese style play place, and other strange dreams with strange people. I do not think about Justin Bieber or Mickey Mouse a lot, nor have I been to Chuck e Cheese in years. Yes, maybe Mickey Mouse is a symbol, but oddly enough, I don't know what it would symbolize. Many of my dreams also take place in fictional places. A small portion of those are from books I have read or movies I have seen, but quite a few are completely made up by my mind. I believe dreams can be quite insightful or inspiring, but none of mine ever are.  I do have quite a large and creative imagination, so dreams may be a way of my brain exercising the imagination that I don't use during my waking hours. This is why I believe dreams are often merely random figments of the imagination, or at least most of mine are.

  1. Yes, your dreams are quite surreal. The Dali painting is a fitting choice, then. I got to see several of his pieces in person at the Chicago art museum this summer, and they have that same out there quality as the dreams you mentioned. They might not inspire you to examine your life, but I bet those crazy visions could be the catalyst for some interesting fiction.
