Next is the interpretation of the dream: This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.

Most experience writers have the gift of using life experiences as a flipbook of ideas for personalities, events, and settings for their book. For example, Danielle McGee, a friend of mine, wrote a story about a witch turning a guy into an umbrella. She was angry with her landlord thus using him as person who was changed. Being able to use lucid dreaming or being in a meditative state to recall his memories or dreams is a known technique.
