I’ve always been an enthusiastic reader and have a deep appreciation for stories told through various mediums, including television shows, movies, and anime. However, the idea of becoming a writer had never crossed my mind- it simply wasn’t something I had ever considered.
But then, in 2022, like so many others, I found myself confined to quarantine while recovering from COVID-19. The walls seemed to close in, and the unrelenting demands of work and daily life bore down on me. It was within this stifling isolation that an irresistible urge to write began to take hold—a means to escape, to cope, and find solace.
One restless night, as I lay wide awake, trying to figure out what to write about, a realization struck me- for years, I had been sharing my vivid and often absurd dreams to friends. These dreams were a vivid mishmash of reality and fantasy, featuring not only myself but also friends, acquaintances, and even fictional characters in a captivating medley of roles.
It then struck me: why not share these stories with the wider world? And so, I began selecting my most memorable dreams to capture their essence without embellishment. The irony was not lost on me- dreams, after all, are stories entirely of our mind’s making, and yet, they possess a magic all their own.
This is how I started writing.
