I woke up this morning with a new design buzzing around my mind, just on the edge of consciousness. I often dream my way through things. My subconscious works through things while I am sleeping. Back in the days when I was working in retail, I would often wake up with an idea of how to redo a display or feature something new we got in. The problem was I would often wake up really tired because it felt like I had worked all night on the project. Then I would get up go to work and have to spend all day doing the same thing. I swore I was doing the same work twice.
Lately it is design ideas that are rattling around in the ole' subconscious. I will wake up and have to get things down in my notebook before I forget how they went together or they will be just on the edge of my memory. That really sucks when it happens!! That is where I found myself this morning. Michael left for school bright and early and the boy child went to work out at the Y, I was all alone in a quiet house. That does not seem to happen much. It was wonderful!! After everyone left I went back to sleep and had a very colorful dream about fiber. I was making something that I knew would change history!! I just know it. I just can't seem to remember what it was. I tried to lay there for a little longer hoping the inspiration would return but it did not and I had to get up and start my day. I have sketched a few rough ideas, but I know that "perfect" design is there I just have to wait for it to surface. Maybe I should take a nap today and try to work out the rest of the details..........
