“I dream my painting, and then I paint my dream.” Vincent Van Gogh. Do You Have a Dream Journal? It's worth starting If you Dream A lot.

I have been painting and drawing for years. I sometimes would wake up in the middle of the night with a beautiful picture shown to me. I get out of bed and quickly sketch out what I saw in my dream.  It's amazing what images I am shown while I am sleeping. If you do not have a pad of paper or notebook by your bed, it is necessary. I love to draw images, write out dreams I had and who visited me in my dreams. In the morning, I read over my notes and drawings. Looking for clues of why I was shown this dream. I also have a dream interpretation book available to look up when I am not sure why I was show this.  When I have terrible nightmares... I go for the Holy Bible. I open it randomly. It's amazing what scripture can tell me about the nightmare I just been shown.  After reading God's word the nightmare doesn't seem so frightening. If you have lots of dreams... it may be time to look at them deeper. I also got a lot of my inspiration on books I written. If I am struggling with a book, I sometimes awake with the solution through a dream I had.  If you haven't taken the time to really listen to your dreams...just maybe they are telling you something you need to do or not do.    Sweet dreams dear friends.
