Dreamy Plots

I recently read about an author who said that his story arrived in a dream. Wow. Is it me, or is this amazing? This is not the first time that I've read or heard of a plot for a novel arriving, in total, via a dream. I suppose about the only thing that would stun me more is if a full-grown plot arrived on a writer's doorstep, already typed and copyedited.

At this point I'd like to say, for the record, that I enjoy the process of spending months digging for a story, mining for the pieces...
