I remember all of my dreams within the first 10-15 minutes of waking. Then they slip away and only present themselves as undefined familiarities that pop up occasionally. I know that I can sometimes shape my dreams while I'm in them. I will try to ask the characters in the dream who they are and what they represent. Interesting experiment.

I know what you mean. In fact you just reminded me that I had a very vivid dream last night that I spent a few minutes dwelling on this morning. It helps to write them down, but I usually don't.

Woke up this morning and it wasn't till I was in the shower that I thought, shit, I totally forgot to be an active participant in my dream".

I just remembered another trick that I read somewhere (but haven't actually tried) that you in particular might find useful as an artist and musician. If you're looking for inspiration, try this. Before walking into a room or turning a corner, say to yourself something along the lines of "Once I open this door, I will hear the most beautiful, unique melody."

Maybe it will be complete gibberish, or maybe it will be a song you've heard before, or maybe it will be nothing at all. But hey, it's worth a shot!

I'm all over it. Thanks for the recommendation. These types of things keep the process "fresh".
