Every once and a while I'll have a dream where I'll be walking around and then my footsteps will lead into invisible stairs in the middle of the street and I'll spend the rest of the dream gliding a foot or two above the ground, visiting places I've never been.

"O lost, and by the wind grieved, ghost, come back again."
-Thomas Wolfe, Look Homeward, Angel

Nature inspires me... and so does my husband. Feelings of love and peace are endlessly inspiring!

The best dream I ever had... well, anytime where I'm lucid dreaming and able to fly is my favorite.

Lepers coiled 'neath the trees
Dying men in bewildered soliloquies
Perversions bloom round the bend
Seekers lost in their quest

people
I love making them smile.

The dreams which I see the people I haven't seen in a while, you know? and then all of a sudden they pop back into your life. It's awesome!

Hope you're well and may the inspiration always be with you

still being awake at six in the morning makes me want to write. and riding the bus alone. and my uncle.
my favourite dream i ever had was one i had when i was five. i dreamt i was the little mermaid's best friend. another favourite was a recurring dream i had when i was little where they installed a vending machine in my primary school that dispensed fat happy labrador puppies: you could get them in black or yellow. the machine broke and thousands of puppies went shooting across the floor.

What inspires me is my horses, and my music.
Hm... I think the best dream I had was where I got my own horse, and it flew. It was really very odd but I loved it.

I dreamed once my most favorite english teacher and I were kissing in a ball pit. the pit was so deep, we were swimming in it.

What I need is a good defense
'Cause I'm feeling like a criminal.

Inspiration: a lot of the conceptual photography here on DA (i even made a collection on here for the stuff that inspires me), definitely music (The Evpatoria Report, Asche and Spencer, Lydia, Death Cab For Cutie), sometimes movies (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Stay, Brick), taking walks does a lot of good too sometimes =]

i had a dream not too long ago that i was a mermaid of sorts. i could grow a tail instead of legs and breathe under water. there were a ton of us on the bottom of the ocean. i had brought a guy down with me, and the others were telling stories. the only one i can remember is about how the jetties at the beach are really there to keep us merfolk out of certain parts of the ocean. the guy i brought with me wasn't a merman though, so he had to go up for air every once in a while. i'd love to have that dream again.

People I care about and love inspire me. Mostly, times when my emotion is at it's highest, whether it be anger, love, pain, is when my best stuff is written. I am a shameless poet scribbling love songs on her chest.

The dreams in which I'm flying
are the best I've ever had.

(And now I'll have that song in my head all night.)
