Welcome to the Wiki (sorry it's a late reply).

This is a topic I'm very passionate about. I think dreams, and the shit we think up in our mind, are the best sources of inspiration we can come across.

Nightmares seem to be the horror films our subconscious mind creates when we are awake, and plays them to us when we are asleep to remind us how awesome our imagination can be - even when we aren't purposefully using it.

I partly based my story "Please Be Careful" on a nightmare I had after going out hunting, and a lot of the scary happenings in "Exhausted" were also based on nightmares. I also keep a dream journal, in case my bad dreams can be inspiration for a good story!
