One of the sources I will be using as inspiration for my piece is DreamMoods.com. This is a website my friend introduced me to a couple of years ago and I have been using it for quite some time now. It's essentially a dictionary of images, themes, and/or symbols that are often found in dreams and what those things could potentially mean about the dreamer's mental/emotional state, future, relationships, etc. Obviously I take the things I read on there with a grain of salt, but it's certainly fun and fascinating to see what the "dream experts" believe my dreams say about me. I've had vivid dreams ever since I was a child and I've always been interested to know what the significance behind them might be. Sometime the interpretations are eerily accurate, sometimes they are completely irrelevant, and sometimes they cause me to do some deep self-reflection. For my project, I will be looking up words like "plane" and other symbols I can remember from related dreams to see what results I get and find a way to somehow incorporate their definitions into my story.

I can relate, because I often have strange dreams where I see similar objects or places across multiple dreams. While the meaning of these may have been thought up by the "dream experts", you might be able to use that as a place to start when interpreting your dreams. If you don't agree with the website's interpretation of something, you could maybe mention it in your story and compare it to what you think it means to you. I also try to think back to how events in my life might have appeared in my dreams. I'm interested to hear how you interpret your dreams
