It is difficult to think straight or remember simple tasks.

Dreams do give me great inspiration for painting and general designing. Just as long as I don't try to get too specific.
That's so true. I now remember dreams where I would be trying to count money to someone, or fill out some paper work and forms. I've literally sat at a table with someone trying to figure out paperwork for 20 minutes straight and getting nowhere. He started getting angry at me and I actually told him it was a dream. I sat with him anyway because I was trying to get us away from the table in a diplomatic fashion.

Counting money is often next to impossible to do correctly, I've had 10-15 minutes of trying to do something as simple as that. And often, it looks and feels fake! So then you think you've been cheated too. It almost becomes a nightmare actually.
