Description
When you need to sleep but your mind is burning with ideas...It's 4AM where I live, this doodle is legit /(TAT)/.
Recently I read that the reason why your brain comes up with solutions and ideas when you're going to sleep is because it's finally seeing your whole day "in the bigger picture". In other words, as it's preparing to organize the knowledge you've just acquired during that day, your brain gives you some glimpses of ideas or solutions that you were looking for.
I use that to my advantage but I could use some sleep too(ﾉಥ益ಥ）ﾉ ┻━┻

Same shit, different deal, because I am currently in self studies in this time.
I tend to be headstrong about retention and rejection and I have a "screw that, I'll come back for it if needed" attitude on "superfluous" concepts.
Not the thing to expect from the 6th grade genius who was to move onto teaching at the local university until retiring after graduating from that grade.

"When you need to sleep but your mind is burning with ideas..."
I agree with this some much it's not even funny. It's weird I've gotten some of my best idea for stuff to write either when I'm lying in bed about to fall asleep or playing video games, so I'm not sure where I'd side with your later bit. But still interesting idea for a drawing

That's so true. I get most of my inspiration at night.
I really love how you drew the furniture, and everything else too, obviously xP Idk, the furniture just kinda jumps out at me xD And I love how you drew all of your thoughts in this roiling black cloud. Cuz like that makes me think of a broken down machine or something, which could symbolize how tired you are, but then your ideas are caught inside of that, so it looks like in spite of all that exhaustion your ideas are still rising out of the cloud and are just begging you to use them somehow. Just my interpretation. I really like this one

That's an awesome interpretation there! But you just got it right, the black part is supposed to look like smoke :3

Hm-mm; I love how you used the image of a burning fire to demonstrate this idea with the title too
Also, yeah, I know exactly wjere you're coming from with this; recently I was working on a drawing idea and got stuck, so I told myself to sleep on it... And a new approach came to me 
On a somewhat related note, I've also had dreams relating to what was going in with my life too and how I felt about them; anyone else had them? :3

I'm glad you pick those small details my dear
I'm not that lucky with dreams though, they almost never help me solve anything
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're very much welcome; it's the little details that can add so much to an image, after all
Ah right; if you'd like them to, may I suggest looking up how dreams work and maybe keep a journal (or maybe even a sketchbook) for capturing them? That's how I've been able to at least notice them more and what they could mean... Athough what they're proberbly revealing about myself can be pretty scary o_O

This is such a neat way to see your images from your head.

Every night! All night! Night in, night out!
(Extremely common, isn't it?)
Most of it is just fantasies with handsome middle age actors, what to draw now that I have better comprehension of drawing and the skill that it is and the nagging to listen to listen to one CD to its entirety (I have a TON of albums!)

Well done!
Very. Well. Done.
