Really neat article on how dreaming inspires Mike Gordon’s writing process. As he says, “Dreams have been my road map through my whole career.”

Phish fan or not, I suspect you can relate to Gordon’s source of inspiration if you’re reading here. Dreams, which have been called “the most spontaneous of our creations,” are a greater source of creativity lying just beneath the surface of our conscious mind, awaiting the dip of our lucid toes. Your first lucid dream (and every subsequent adventure for that matter) is an opening to a world within that already contains all the energy, ideas, and answers one has been exhausting for without. So I offer that instead of turning up that ipod and going deaf on phish music just yet, perhaps first you should turn up the lucid volume and start listening to your dreams.
