Must. Have. Brains.

“I got a chunk of work done in my dreams this morning…feels good.” ~ www.ealart.com (Eric Leppanen)

I read this fan page facebook status and immediately understood what Eric meant. I am very familiar with mulling over and over a project in my mind right before bed - so much so that I will dream about it all night. And every once in a while…I will wake up to a solution or a process or an idea - it’s pretty amazing.

It’s like these embryonic ideas need my state of unconsciousness to gestate. They need my daily grind to cease…so they can have full control over my brain and grow.

I would say 64% of the time that the overnight brainstorm was all I needed to feel…at peace. At that point, the creation of said project might not even need to happen, I’ve worked it out in my head. From there it will ferment and age…and come out at a later date - or not. But regardless, my mind feels at ease with itself again. Well, until the next night.
