About a quarter of what I wrote in Dress Gray came from dreams, which I wrote down in notebooks in the middle of the night. I dreamed scenes that I was working on in the book, and the next day, copied them right into the manuscript.
Thank you for the comment. A lot of my book Cheap Complex Devices also came from dreams. When I was working on my master's thesis (a complicated mathematical model of a farm) I dreamt about it all the time. Depending on the reaction I get to this essay I may revisit this topic in greater depth in a separate post.
The Etruscan Warrior
was a fake
so sad for who bought it
thinking it was real.
But it's bold stance
and fierce visage
were as real as the day
the original
raised it's arm
in battle
to inspire
future children
to courage and bold deeds.
