Hello,

I do this too.  I always dream in color.  I thought everyone did.  I also 
have dreams that are very vivid.  Sometimes they tell really long stories.  
For example, I've had very detailed dreams about the government collapsing 
and I am rushing from place to place trying to get out.  There are a couple 
of dreams that I thought would make good stories, but I never wrote them down 
as that seemed like cheating.  My dreams are very emotional too, with lots of 
danger and usually a surrealistic kind of atmosphere.  Not usually gory, but 
very unnerving.  A contrast to my very mundane ordinary job.

My imagination during the day is active and I'm always thinking of stuff to 
write about - ideas constantly go through my head.  whether they are any good 
or not is another story.  

I also constantly have poems and song lyrics and also often music going 
through my mind too.  does anyone else experience this?  If anyone has any 
strategies for using any of this stuff in a career, I'd love to hear it.  I 
always treated it as a totally useless skill.  in fact, I've spent most of my 
life suppressing what goes on in my imagination rather than encouraging it, 
because I couldn't see any way to use it productively.

Mary

People hurry by so quickly
Don't they hear the melodies
In the chiming and the clicking
And the laughing harmonies
- Joni Mitchell
