Most of them consist of colors and interactions where I am one of the characters in a play or book I am currently writing or even get the inspiration to write About; yet I am not myself. I appear as a different person or creature, perhaps as a dragon, a princess, or even a knight, and I undertake many quests involving magic or some kind of fantastic weapon that only I am able to control. Jung states that “Dreams contain images and associations of thoughts that we do not create with conscious intent” (Jung 933). A dream I remember vividly was later the inspiration for a story I started. I was a woman who had a hidden past and I was riding with a man dressed as a knight. We were fleeing from a group of people who were called "hunters", later in the dream the person I perceived as being forced to be watched by the man who had captured me but unfortunately that's where the dream ended and I woke up until the wake up to get ready for school that day. I feel like my dreams are the result of my conscious creativity in writing and reading fantasy and fiction stories. Yet they are unconscious because I don't purposely think about some sort of plot before I go to bed. Thoughts come to me in my sleep and then I write them down once I wake up and am aware of every little detail I can remember from my life.
