April 5: Do You Ever Dream About Books?

Prompts: Do you ever dream about books? Which fictional characters have appeared in your dreams? Have you ever had book-related nightmares? Or do you have happier bookish dreams?

Welcome to the first LTB of April, everyone! Today’s topic is certainly interesting, all about dreaming. I have a feeling many will say they simply don’t dream or don’t remember their dreams, but perhaps there are more dreamers in the bookish community than I know.

I don’t personally dream about books. I think in the past I have had a nightmare or two over books like the Goosebumps series, but that was when I was much younger. I don’t think it’s too often that I dream about anything that happens in a book. That being said, I think that reading books does sometimes put me in certain moods that might tend to trigger dreams (not book-related). But I think it has something to do with me thinking and contemplating a book’s message or plot.

I don’t think I have really had many dreams involving characters from books, though I think I do remember some Harry Potter dreams in the long past. Not that I met any of the characters from that world, but rather that I myself was thrown into Hogwarts, or at least that fictional fantasy world. There may have been a dark wizard coming after me? I think dreams about escaping or being on a chase as a general theme are more commonplace.

For me, I think books tend to trigger dreams more than they tend to be the subject of dreams. That being said, I think I’d like to have some bookish dreams sometime, it seems like another cool way to engage with books. Although I rather hope that it’s not nightmares that I get to live these fantasies. Considering I read a lot of thrillers though, I must say I’m fairly thankful that my dreams aren’t like the books I read.

What about you all? Do you dream about your books? Or do they never enter your dreams? Or if you’re the type not to remember your dreams or dream at all, I want to know about that too! I wonder how many of us are dreamers, haha. Let me know in the comments below!
