what authors have turned ideas from dreams into successful books?

Question

can you name a few please? i always think its fun when you have a dream and can use it in a story, the problem is often times my dreams are incoherant

haha sorry i forgot to ask what books they wrote from the dreams,

Answer 1

Coleridge got one or two poems. I like Neale Donald Walsch. He did Conversation with God by writing down the voice in his head, his questions and it's answers. Got three books and a movie. Barbara Rose did the same thing and got quite a few books. Walsch was on youtube and you can get one of her books free on her website borntoinspire. The free book is hard to find but I did finally. She has a few free articles too. I checked, either the link is not working or she withdrew the offer.
They may be incoherent but I guarantee they make more sense then out waking thoughts. That's where most great scientists got their ideas, the intuition. It's about the same think. Intuition usually puts it in words, but you can access the pictures behind it. Just think of a tree and you can picture it if you want to. Visions are just awake dreams and we don't know just how real or unreal they are. My dreams are few, but I can piece together how the subconsciuous works and it's awesome and accurate. It compare billions of pictures for inconsitencies and alerts you in dreams, visions, intuition(words here), gut reaction in the stomach area, heart of a sens of something wrong (not matching). A typical dream I had. Some one entered stage left. I wanted to know who, got a name. I thought, how can I know who it is I can't see them. I went closer (this is pretty much what they call lucid dreaming) and they changed into someone else. I don't know if I knew them or not, not well in any case. Then they turned into an action scene going right and down. Since I only wanted to see them I dropped it and was soon out, I think. Any way analyzing it later and I think the intuition helped, the two people where people I had trouble with. Then I realized I was included in the group. I was part of the trouble, isn't that always the case? No doubt the moving scene going down and right was the issue and probably the solution in that. It was a long standing problem with people I needed to learn about my part, the right view and solution, but I baled. Acccessing you dreams like that ups you IQ tremdously and you should be good at writing or anything if you have a background and interest, even science like Einstein. Check your IQ free online. It might show up there or not. Should some at least. I don't know how accurate they are. Oh, try trans4mind on the net. Free ebooks. Some of the one Emotional Intelligence. Helps with intuition. Words might help you better than pictures.
