Writing in the House of Dreams is part memoir, part dream essay and part writing handbook.

Every chapter begins with an idea about the nature of the dreaming/creative mind, offers a chunk of memoir to illustrate how I have experienced it and ends with some practical creative exercises to help you experience it for yourself.

Here is the first chapter, The Ordinary World, which is about childhood – mine and yours – before the adventure begins.
