How do dreams affect your writing?

Have you ever written a story completely based on a dream?

Dreams haven't ever affected my writing, but I had a bud in high school who got all of the inspiration for his writing from his dreams.

I am the same, but over the past couple of weeks my dreams have suddenly become increasingly more vivid and I retain a lot of what happened in said dreams.

I cannot really explain why this is happening to me so suddenly (no change in diet or sleep schedule). Now i'm slowly getting to the point where I feel I have to write about them.

Listen bitch I bet you still wear diapers and get fucked by you "BIG" daddy and makes you cum every time he sticks your finger up your asshole. But after he dipped his asshole on your nose you feel the need to be an absolute cunt in a virtual realm because you cannot cope with reality.

Go ahead, man. I'd love to read some of your work. My friend was able to write everything from Tokienesque fantasy to Carrol style surrealist humor by keeping journals of all his dreams, and then writing about them.

When you mentioned "big daddy," I couldn't help but think of Bioshock. As a read on about the fucking and fingering, thoughts of anal drilling, in a quite literal sense, were conjured. Thanks a lot, asshole.

Usually I don't get much inspiration for writing from dreams, but very recently I've written a story entirely about a dream of mine.

Writing a book based on a character who writes books based on his dreams.

Sometimes dreams give me an idea but they never write for me. They help when I have writer's block.

That dream when your teeth start to fall out.

Keeping a dream journal sounds handy, I think I might actually do that.

>> No.1771874

Everything I write is based on dreams, OP. The only exceptions are stories where I'm essentially writing about myself and how shitty my life could be if item A or person B were removed.

I fucking hate having that dream. Always makes me extremely uncomfortable when I wake.

I hate that dream, I read somewhere it's a lack of vitamins. :/
