For the writers and artists out there, do you ever try to write/draw something from one of your dreams. In my case most of what I'd get would be horror. Case in point, last night's dream. My usual lost in a labyrinthine old house dream morphed into lost in a labyrinthine cruise ship was new for me. I've never been on a real cruise ship. I got the idea that I was part of the medical team. I don't remember much. I do remember being upset that a door was locked to me and when I got in there, a bunch of furry piglets were running around. Later I was sitting with my feet over the edge of the boat when Trump comes in and sits next to me, leaning on my shoulder and then he lies down across my lap and my friend and I screamed Never Touch Me! Thank God I woke up.
Now I wouldn't to draw or write that dream but there have been times I would like to try to write a dream. I really haven't done it yet other than maybe a snippet here or there. Have any of you tried to create art from your dreams? How did it work for you? I've seen people draw from their dreams and it's been pretty neat.
And I did write an original freebie today. You can read it on AO3 right
here. It's got a demon and it's called Taken by Surprise.
