“SO YOU SAY I’M A DREAMER”

  How Dreams Manifest into Stories

 

            I don’t want to confuse the dream manifesting method with actual dream manifestation. The two are very different in concept and reality.

One is writing down your dreams, the naming, and claiming ideology. I’m not here to bash anyone who believes in this method but just in case that doesn’t work out for you. Try using what comes to you more intuitively.  

            Some of the best ideas come alive during periods of unconsciousness. Dreams are often vivid byproducts of what’s seen and heard throughout a day. Like a movie, a descriptive display of action-packed images develop the deeper you are asleep.

There are other times when fully awake, the same occurs like someone pressed play and a movie started rolling.

From what I’ve discovered about my dreams, I learned that they have meanings. So, instead of dwelling on why, I write them down, and soon a story unfolds.

I prefer to think of them as prequels—a glimpse of what will manifest into a novel.

Whereas some believe dreams hold no meaning, only the brain compiles data over time. Consolidated information is retained in long-term memory and then uploaded while you sleep.

Technically, this is true, but I believe there is a deeper meaning—specifically, the details and vivid imagery involved in the REM sleep stage.  Also known as the dream sleep stage.

Now, I’m no scientist; therefore, I won’t argue the scientific explanation of why and when we dream. But what I will speak on is what comes during those times when the brain is most active and what I like to describe as the creative stage.

I typically remember the more vivid dreams with built-in plots and narratives. I write them down and worry about the sequences later.

Dreams manifesting into stories is a way to harness your creative juices straight from the vine.

Please don’t ignore them.
