I have dreams sort of like that where some part of my consciousness knows that I'm married and it would be wrong to go out with another boy, but in the dream I'm in high school and it should be totally fine. I wake up feeling like I've somehow been unfaithful and possibly psychotic. <br /><br />My ideas come in bits and pieces from very random thought processes over a period of time. It's hard for me to be specific about how they come to me.
