梦是做梦者在不清醒状态时精神活动的延续。作家在梦中获得灵感从而推动创作，这样的事例十分丰富。由于梦中排除了外界的干扰，联想特别丰富活跃，并且不受逻辑思维和各种成见的束缚，因而能产生创造性思维。梦中出现的灵感，是由于作家生活积淀到一定的程度，在艰苦的创作思索过程中，于睡梦中偶然的收获。梦中出现的灵感往往十分短暂而无联系，因而作家必须依靠醒后正常思维的扩展、补充和加工，才能有助于创作。 Dream is a continuation of the mental activity of the dreamer when he is not awake. Writer in the dream inspired to promote creativity, such a case is very rich. Because of the exclusion of external interference in the dream, the association is particularly rich and active, and not subject to logical thinking and various stereotypes constraints, which can produce creative thinking. The inspiration that appears in the dream is due to the accumulation of the writers’ life to a certain degree and the occasional harvest in their dreams during the hard creative thinking. The inspiration that appears in dreams is often very brief and disconnected, so writers must rely on the normal, complementary, and processing of normal thinking in order to contribute to their creation.
