Have you ever created a project inspired by a dream? If so, describe it.

Several. Most of my earliest works started as dreams, going back to when I was a teenager. The first story I remember writing from a dream was a near future sci-fi inspired by the French Revolution. I never finished it, and now never will since I lost it a dozen computers or so ago, but I still have fond memories of working on it.

@JessMahler Too bad you lost it, a story about revolutions sure seems... opportune lately BlobCatKnife

Given how much I've learned since then, it would probably need to be torn down and completely re-written.

Might make a few notes, see how much I remember, though...

The big problem, as I recall it, is that it wasn't only conflict centered, but it had an almost chosen one-esque vibe without having a literal chosen one. Not at all something I could (or would) write today.

But the basic setting and character concepts are sound...

@JessMahler Seems like it could be a good exercise in learning and unlearning, not to mention a meta-narrative of growth in the author lol.
