REM Mining

noun | /ˈrɛm ˌmaɪ.nɪŋ/
(REM as in “rem sleep,” Mining as in “mining for gold”)

Definition:
The intentional practice of entering the early stages of REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep or the hypnagogic state with the specific goal of extracting creative ideas, insights, or inspiration. The practitioner typically awakens shortly after entering this mental state to record thoughts or concepts before they fade from memory.

She credits REM Mining for the plot twist in her novel, having pulled it straight from the edge of sleep.

REM Mining

A creative technique where someone intentionally enters the early REM or hypnagogic state to access heightened imagination, insight, and ideas. REM Mining involves using the mind’s dream-border zone on purpose to pull out concepts, scenes, or inspiration for writing, art, or problem solving.

I was stuck on my story, so I used REM Mining and woke up with the entire plot mapped out.
