I have this recurring dream where I'm sitting in the back seat of a car that is racing up a ridiculously steep bridge over the ocean, when I suddenly realize there is no driver at the wheel. Fear washes over me as I try to reach the driver's seat to stop the car, only to find out the brakes don't work. I always manage to wake up before the car plunges into the water below. The world of dreaming has been the subject of much interest for philosophers, writers, and mystics for centuries. This week we explore dreams and the many ways they can reveal our subconscious thoughts and inspire us.

What are dreams? And how can we use them in our writing? Dreams are the images and stories we see and feel in our sleep, but they’re also the hopes and aspirations we want to achieve in our futures. In this writing program for teens, we’ll discuss our own dreams and turn them into unique pieces of writing. Along the way, we’ll learn about some other writers and artists who have used dreams in their creative processes. Today's featured book is Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson.
