Inspired by dreams
Have you ever been inspired to write a story based on a recurring dream you’ve had over the past few years? To be honest with you, I have had a recurring dream of climbing, which can take on many different forms, from stairs, to ladders of all kinds, to climbing into a building, to climbing up a strange ramp that gets steeper and steeper. Although I always don’t understand what these dreams mean, or I don’t make it to top of the mountain/ladder/ramp etc., the unforgettable factor of these dreams is that I can never climb back down the same way I climbed up. I always have to keep climbing up from where I started, and find my way down another path, or reach my destination in another way.
Dreams inspired my story
After having many such dreams at odd intervals, I sat reading and chatting with someone on skype, when all of a sudden, this story idea began forming in my mind. I opened a word document and began writing. The first title I gave my book was A Mysterious Journey, then I prayed for God to lead me in the direction my story should take, and that’s how I came up with the title A Journey of Faith.
There have been times when I felt as if I were following Becca Martin as she told me her story. She always looked over my shoulder to see if I was following her. Although I made the mental climb, in my waking life, there have been times when I climb in my dreams with her, or with my family and friends.

Dreams can be a wonderful source of inspiration.
Especially when the dream that inspires you recurs every so often and takes on different forms every time.
I have had recurring dreams but they usually haven’t inspired me to write anything. On the other hand, I have had some very vivid dreams that have inspired me to write blog posts.
