I Love it When This Happens

[queenoftheskies]

I had a dream last night about one of my novels. One in my series.

I don't remember the details of the dream, which is sad. But, I DO remember the feel of it and I have flashes of images from it. I know which characters were there if I concentrate on the flashes.

I know it was basically between my main character and her father, who had been lost for centuries.

I remember, in the dream, thinking that if there was only one thing I remembered from the entire dream, it was one PERFECT line of dialogue from the father.

I remember waking up with it and thinking the same thing. (I didn't wake up enough to write it down.)

And, dang blast it, I don't remember the line of dialogue this morning.

Figures, huh?

EDIT: I don't love not remembering the line. I love having had the dream. :)

Aren't they great? Mind tend to happen more in lucid dreaming (right before or after sleep), but I've had to start getting up and writing them down, or I totally forget.

Comfort yourself with the thought that it could well have been nonsense if you'd remembered it :p I remember having a dream in which I was writing a poem. I woke up thinking I'd better write it down because it had been kind of neat, and then as I woke up further realised that it had actually consisted of a painted image (of a wine glass, I believe) :-)

Dreams about your works are brilliant. If you can get that far into the world, then it must be a fairly coherent and engaging one.
