dream to story

I don’t know if it’s an issue or not with people that are not writers or artists, but I know sometimes it’s an issue with me. Going to bed with an idea in my head is a sure fire way of not getting enough sleep! Or worse, it leads to dreams and that dream heads me in a different direction.

The dream last night found me in an old and abandoned building… now think along the lines of Harry Potter, this building was just as it had been left, there were tables fully set for use, the books were all still on the shelves and stands, the kitchen was fully stocked, etc….

Now that’s not unheard of, sounds like a pretty boring dream you say, well, Yes if that is all that was happening. While exploring the rooms I started feeling like there were others with me, but looking around didn’t show any other people there. Simple solution you say, just say “Hello.”   And yes, I got an answer, but no, it was not a person.

And this perhaps shows you how my mind works, scary as that might be, it was one of the books that replied! Even stranger, it did not occur to me in the dream that this was an abnormal thing…. Well it did, but not in a scary way. After holding a conversation with the book I found out that this building had been a training center for centuries.

Yea, I know. There is some potential there, but I have too many other things to do today to sit at the computer and fully write this up. There is however, a long list of ideas from this dream in a Word file and I’ll be getting back to is soon trust me!


So, does this look inside my head seem interesting or does it scare you off a bit? Reply to this and let me know.
