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.
