Inspiration

[Yesterday]

Has anyone ever been inspired to do anything artistic by a dream? Such as draw a picture or write a poem or something about what happened in the dream? If I could paint well, I would have painted so many scenes and characters from my dreams. I have written a short story about one of my dreams, though I'm not much of a writer. I wanted to incorporate some things from it, but have it flow a little better as far as the story line goes. Also, I just wanted to do something other than about it in a journal. So any inspiration from lucid or non-lucid dreams?

Well, I've written Religious and Moral Essays regarding revelations received while dreaming. yes, while essays may ordinarily be deemed quite dry, it must add a certain amount of zing to them when they begin to cite the authority of Angels from the Great Beyond. When they speak, these Dream Angels, they typically they use a great deal of alliteration and rhyme, which is artistically appealing in itself. and then when I use their illustrations and descriptions -- the symbologies and metaphors that the Angels themselves used, it tends to be as evocative of meaning as anything I might have thought of if I had merely applied myself intellectually.

Absolutely! I've written some short stories, some that were even for a writing course in school because of dreams I've had. I wrote a poem one time, just a free-verse thing, though I'm sure it's terrible. It was inspired by a dream of being caught in the middle of a war-torn nation, where everyone was being killed and tortured. I would so love to paint some of the things I've seen, but I mostly stick to sketches. I'm not the best artist, as it were.
