#WritersCoffeeClub 5/6 - do you ever dream about your characters?
Yes, but usually only deliberately.
One of my favourite approaches to problem solving is to construct the problem in a mental landscape as I fall asleep.
When the thing I'm working on is fiction, I build the current scene, place the characters, and proceed to explore it while I dream. It frequently produces useful results for the next step in the story.
(This also works for thorny bits of programming logic, among many other things.)
