Aaron Jesko asked Joseph Finder:

Joe, Here comes my Ask-the-author-question for you. When an author is working on a story every day I guess they’re bound to start dreaming about their characters and plotlines at some point. I recently read an article about how some authors use their nightly dreams to improve upon their projects. Have you ever made changes to a character or a plot following a dream you had? Best, AJ

Joseph Finder That's hard to answer. It's often happened that I'll go to sleep thinking about a plot problem, or wondering what I'll have a character do next, and wake up with an idea. I wake up with my story in my head, not with anything I might have been dreaming about — so was I dreaming about the story? I never remember. But maybe.
