Dreams are very significant to me. I try and remember my dreams as much as i can because they do have somewhat of a meaning to them. I write them down as much as i can without leaving any detail behind. I have always wanted to write some stories based on my dreams, but i have a writers block because 1: theres so much you can remember in the dream and 2: this may seem weird to you but i feel as if i am cheating on my dream? Meaning that i am trying to finish off a story without even knowing if that would have happened to begin with. Theres so many paths it can take, so i am still debating about it. Also 3: I feel as if dreams are personal aswell, you are connected with them more than others, so i dont think it is highly recommended as you are not going to get the same energy as you would feel for that dream.

If you count day dreams, yes, a few of them do.

Absolutely! I even kept a small journal just in case I dreamt up something awesome. I even drew some illustration for me to remember all the imagery.
