Dreaming isn’t an impracticality—every invention started as a dream. It’s important to exercise the muscles of “What if” along with “How would that work?”
Otherwise, what’s the point of being creative? Pure reactivity is purely for machines.

Yes; after the inspiration there must be the perspiration, or – as you say – it’s only a “what if”. And that applies just as much to art as to science and technology.

So very true – even actually ‘dreaming’ when sleeping – like how Paul McCartney came up with the song ‘Yesterday’,

Dreams have inspired some of my writing. My first novel was written with a “what if” – what if you couldn’t distinguish the difference between dreams and reality?
I am an artist as well as an author and a poet. I received new supplies and kept telling myself I can’t use them, I don’t know how, but how do you learn?
Through action inspired by an idea. A friend challenged me to create a portrait. I told him I couldn’t draw people.
He simply asked, “Who said I have to be a person?” It was like the window of my mind fractured on hearing that.
Inspiration is incredible, and all around us, but we have to follow it with the action.
I’m not just a dreamer. I’m a doer too.
