Last Thursday, I participated in a WFWA (Women’s Fiction Writers Association) webinar with writer, educator, and certified dreamwork professional Tzivia Gover. She is the author of Dreaming on the Page: Tap into Your Midnight Mind to Supercharge Your Writing, The Mindful Way to a Good Night’s Sleep, and Joy in Every Moment.
Tzivia began by reminding us that we are all storytelling beings who dream several times each night, whether we remember the dreams or not. Many of those dreams are filled with vivid imagery and strong emotions that can provide a gold mine of metaphors, memorable characters, plot twists, and out-of-body experiences. By tapping into these dreams, we can unlock a wealth of creative material that is unique to our own subconscious, empowering us to transform our writing in ways we never thought possible.
