I am too tired, otherwise I would post a really long and enthusiastic version of this:
Damn. Me too. Like, eerily so. I've never been able to describe it as well as you did. Both the kind of dreams and what they mean to me creatively.
Also, I'm thinking you shouldn't narrow yourself to the identity of "writer". There is "writer" in you, but you're so much more than that. Also, limiting yourself thusly will inevitably lead to angst when you feel you're not performing to your self-appointed identity. Which sucks. And shouldn't happen. Because happy and creative is "normal". It's the natural state. It's the baseline. I know it's hard to believe after days and weeks and months of feeling like crap and slugging through writing, but it's true. So stop doubting yourself. Unless you want me to come over and whoop your ass.

Just as soon as I'm done sleeping for 14 hours.
