      most of the greatest artists and thinkers throughout history give at least a little bit of credit to their dreams.

      Everything works out in the end, sometimes even badly.

      Nope... still your ideas... (as long as the dream art wasn't ripped from someone else and isn't ACTUALLY someone else's ideas)...

      Many of the great artists use dreams as part of their creativity including Stephen King, Hemingway, Walt Disney, and of course Salvador Dali

      Many dreams are just the brain cobbling together random thoughts and information into something slightly more linear. Your brain did it, so it is your idea. I mean, only if you don't dream of something you read about or saw on the telly.
      The best times of your life should not be when you're still so young, or else you'll live a life always dreaming of the past.

      The only cheating in art is blatantly copying the heart of someone else's idea. Dreams, drugs, meditation, free association, emotional outbursts, depression, elation, accident, etc.... Use whatever you have at your disposal to unlock your potential. I'd say, just don't abuse whatever it is you choose (since I'm not going to condone drug addiction to create art exactly) but many of the worlds greatest artists died from their inspiration, due to drug over dose or suicide or whatever else. Its all a matter of dedication, really.

      The ability to happily respond to any adversity is the divine.

      Your dreams come from your mind and everything within its bounds-- So no, it is not cheating.
