I get really vivid dreams in full color. So real sometimes that it kind of makes you wonder. The unconcious is a fascinating thing. I dream about ideas for books. Dream about problems in my real life and how to solve them. Dream about how to deal with people or situations. I dream about sex (all the time, lol), and I dream about my books.
Dreams are definitely an important part of my life. I'd be half as creative if I didn't dream. Which is where I got my idea for my second book, "Dreams are for Lovers". Urban legend has it that some people dream about events that later actually happen. What if their dreams are real? What if they are traveling through time and visiting the actual event?
My heroine is one of these people. She dreams every night of the murder of her parents. They died when she was four, yet she can't leave it behind. She can't sleep like a normal person. She's always tired, always drinking too much caffeine. She'd do almost anything to avoid going to sleep and seeing their murders again. She prays for the day when she can dream of something else, anything else.
Then one night a dream cop from another world comes into her dreams to save her. His people are devoted to guarding the dreamworlds, making sure no one abuses their talents in and changes the timelines.
I love this plot idea. The possibilities are endless. And I think the book turned out really well. God, I love writing!
