I love "From Where You Dream." Just wondering, as an update two years on, how you are going with dreamstorming? What do you use to start with, in this process? Do you usually have one flitting thought that begins the process? A vague thought about a particular "idea" you'd like to flesh out? Something else? Nothing else? Hi Chris.

What do you use to start with, in this process? Do you usually have one flitting thought that begins the process? A vague thought about a particular “idea” you’d like to flesh out? Something else? Nothing else?

What I'm doing now with the index cards is blending the dreamstorming with straight writing. If an image is amorphous or fragile, I'll just jot down the basic idea of it so I don't kill it; if, however, it comes out as a straight sentence, paragraph or entire scene, then that's what I put down on the card. Again, however, like the philosopher Nietzsche said, "This is my way. What is your way? <em>The</em> way doesn't exist." Good luck with your own work. Yes, aleph, it did.
