Writers, have you ever gotten inspiration from a dream?

I have. These are a couple of mine:

I dreamt that I was pushed over my wrist was crushed by some evil-looking lady in a long green dress (the same clothes I was planning for the evil daughter of Draco to wear). Makes me put in that a few of my characters should get injured in battle or even killed, even before the final confrontation.

I dreamt that there were four people on an endless journey to nowhere, and I heard one of them say, "We've had no water for two days, Gandalf!" (didn't make sense I know) even though I didn't see any other people with them four. That makes me think of Frodo and Sam's quest to Orodruin, and it makes me put in that one quest where my characters are searching for something important takes them to a mountain.

So, what's yours?

    Well, once I had a dream that there was this race of people that looked exactly like people, except they didn't have faces, just giant mouths with razor sharp teeth. They also had very long, forked tongues. I'm actually writing a story with a character like this as the main protagonist. I've also had dreams that certain humans could turn into weapons, and they secretly have to save the world from falling into utter chaos.

    the craziest dream i ever had was one where a bunch of friends and I were stuck at a middle school, and the Mitt Romney was there, and he kept trying to serve us coffee, even though it was poisoned, and we all ended up killing each other off. Violent, yes, but I got my favorite story plot I've ever written from this.

I frequently get proposal from many stuff at as quickly as, nevertheless. i'm getting stimulated by way of each little thing I see, hear and do. if so, what replaced into it and the way did it motivate me? it may take me years to pass contained in the direction of the record of all of them.
