Dream novelist

I’m not sure where to put this :

I read once of a man who set up a workstation in his dreams for which to write books, and then he wrote the books when he woke up, he spent a long time in the work-station.

Does anyone know what I mean?

I understand what your saying, but I’ve never heard of it before.

I have heard of artists who didn’t know what to paint next, so in a lucid dream, one of them came to a door and thought “on the other side of the door, the painting will be on the wall”, he went through and saw his to-be masterpiece.

hmmm

that is interesting too

this is a particular person, i read about him

maybe he was me, and it hasn’t been written yet, and I read it in my imagination, a memory to be?

Well, it makes sense. I’ve read fantastic books in my dreams that don’t exist in reality. If only I could remember the stories better, it’s possible I could write them for real. I did try once, but it turned out I couldn’t remember more than just a few scenes, and I had a mental blank of how to lead the story up to them.

More likely I would just write a book based directly on a dream, rather than indirectly. That’s much easier.

Edit: And I’ve never heard of this particular person, though there was that very famous poem which apparently came from a dream. Unfortunately I never paid much attention to what it was called, but a search on Google would most likely bring it up, since it’s quite famous.

i don’t think a google search would work because the reading i did about him was just that he had a dreamworskstation he wrote his novels at, without a name it is like picking through straw

searching “dream novelist” doesn’t quite cut it.

Try something like “Dream author workshop ideas” :wink: I’m gonna google it myself right away.
