Have you ever written a story based off a dream?

Technically all my stories are from dreams cause I have to day dream it to write it.

My next book will be based on another dream. It’ll happen when I’m done with the first book, it will have the same characters but a completely different storyline.

If I do it’d be an adaption from what i remember of the dreams rather than exactly what happened in them-- dreams are actually one of the things that really got me into storytelling back in primary school.

The one I’m currently working on started because of a dream. I took like three plot points from the dream and made everything else up. I should have honestly trashed one of the ideas cause it’s not explained too well. Or like at all. But I think it’d be interesting how people imagine it in their heads vs mine.

Dreams are the only way I can write a short story.

Same here!

My next book (after I’m done with the first) will be based on a dream as well. Both of my novels will be X rated! Hehehe.

Not wrote, but I once drew a comic based on my dreams few years ago. I even give it some random sequels because I think it was really interesting :joy: It has 8 chapters and an epilogue, kinda short but it was fun to draw XD Most of them are improvised on the spot because I don’t have any ideas to make an outline for the story.

Bits and pieces of my dreams end up randomly in my stories, yes.

Yes. I love surrealism, I’ll elaborate more later but rn I’m busy and have a headache.

But yeah basically I like to include elements in all my stories that make them feel dream like.

The intro to The New Solare (a story about humans with dragons) and W.R.E.C.K. (a story about an intern with a jerk of a mentor) were both inspired by two different dreams.

Yep, Daughter of the Blue Dragon and the Souls Saga are stories based off of dreams I had. DOBD came from a dream based off a an otome story call Kissed by the Baddest Bidder where one of the LI is a Yakuza boss. It led to me having the dream which then turned into my episode story. Souls Saga is based off of a series of nightmares and dreams surrounding werewolves. Actually in truth, the series was only supposed to be based on werewolf races and not other races who were not wolves. I added that in later on.

Oh so many times. So many of my random “Miscs” (For the Blue Royalty RP) are because I got ideas while I was asleep or it was a half backed hallucinated idea while I was half asleep.

@Littlefeets knows this the best :joy:

I have so many ideas that came from dreams, but it’s hard to make the plot make sense. So far, I haven’t tried it

i haven’t (yet), but i do have some writing prompts that “came to me” in a dream and i plan to write them so… maybe in the future i will?

I still haven’t actually written a story based off of a dream, but I have multiple story ideas on my list that are based off of dreams! One of which is definitely pushing myself out of my comfort zone.

I never written a story based off of a dream. I always feel like if I have a dream it just happens once and I don’t get into people or anything like that
