I think one inventor in the 1600s actually held a metal ball in his hand while he slept, and if he had an eventful or inspiring dream he would drop the ball in a metal pail and wake up. I bet his wife thought he was a ton of fun...
The boyfriend hates me. If I have a thought in the middle of the night I'll wake him up and tell him about it. If I dont, I'll forget it. Even writing it down tends to be nonsense the next morning. I have to talk about the idea to cement it in my mind.

It's always best to have some sort of notebook next to your bed, just in case you dream up something interesting...
ReplyDeleteI think I may be one of the few writers who can sleep through anything, even a storm of ideas...very few things come between me and sleep :)
