Dreams

Read Jeremiah 22-24

Jeremiah 23:25 "I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed."

Editors don’t seem to like when a story begins with a dream. And readers get disgusted when a story ends up being nothing but someone’s dream.

But dreams can be useful plot points as a character’s subconscious struggles to bring out a repressed memory or when a character is struggling with decisions and a dream helps bring some clarity. We just have to use dreams carefully and fairly.

There are a few markets that might be interested in dreams. We will probably find more markets for the science side of dreams like the nature of Rapid Eye Movement (REM) rather than the interpretation of dreams.
