RE: [Dream Report] Plague of the Twisted Flesh
Oh man, with dreams like that, who needs to watch horror movies? I'd say you've been playing too many video games! Although weird dreams do make great inspiration for stories. I heard that many of Stephen King's books were inspired by dreams he had. Do you sleep with a pad of paper nearby so you can write them down as soon as you wake up?
No, I use mnemonics. I pick a word representing each major "scene", then just repeat that string of words to myself over and over. Later on, thinking of each of those words dredges up that whole scene, or most of it. Then I stitch them together into what seems like the most logical order, and write about it.
Nice memory trick. Thanks for sharing your sources of inspiration with us!
