I relate to this far more than I would like.

I play kitten noises on my phone, when I want the cat to come to me

Me with no talents or ideas:

For me it's the lack of talent to make many of my ideas possible.

At the beginning of the pandemic I committed to writing my book. Over a year later aannnnd…I only have 2 paragraphs. :/
Scariest thing for me is the blank page. Honestly, as soon as it appears, it's like I've walked into another room and forgot why I wentthere
KiwiGameDev
I’d recommend scribbling randomly on the first page! Destroy the scary blankness
AllTheGoodOnesWereGone
Those ideas look way more incredible in the middle of the night than in the cold light of day the next morning lol.

That, or after eating an edible, versus reading the idea the next day!

They come when you are open to it.. relaxed

This. Cats don't like to be chased. They'll approach you if you are calm and still
NZSheeps
Which is why shower thoughts are a thing
... for Fappening?
Whatever it takes you to relax ...

You can also find someone who’s a doer. My business partner is an ideas guy and I get things done for him. We’ve done well for ourselves.
millenniumf
I dont trust anyone to be able to execute my ideas as well as I can...
Then do them yourself lol
I do, which is why I have zero free time.
Ardranor
careful, this is usually the part where the doer tries to scrap the thinker, and the thinker kills them
Gagerith
Fuck. I need to take an ad out for a doer
onecattwocatbigcatsmallcat
I am a doer
ColonelColon
Doer? I hardly know er'
MrSaturday
Yeah, but it's like tupperware, so many tubs and like one lid.

I like to keep a notepad open on my phone when I go to sleep, so I can copy down anything I think of while I'm in bed
DonnaNobleInTheLibrary
I have an actual notepad on my nightstand. Easier to read my tired handwriting than trying to figure out what I typed on my phone.
And I can also doodle stuff that doesn't write down well.
Xedi22
I use Captio -- basically a single page notepad app with a send button (that only emails yourself). Idea pops in, I type and send.
I will have to try this!
Could it be called something else? I found an app for keeping track of receipts.
Looks iOS only. “Boomerang: email myself” might be similar, at first glance?
As a musician, I feel this deep in my being

I feel this way as soon as I get in the car… if I could play my bass with the mind I have while driving, it would be amazing

always have a notbook by your bed to write down your dreams.
Always do! Can never remember musical notes though. Last dream entry is "parents had fun at the soviet-mongol theme park in Inner Mongolia"

As a musician, I also feel this deep in my being. I very rarely don't get out of bed to let my muse lead me where it will

I dream of symphonies, wake up and play shit.

Keep a keyboard/guitar close by. Record to your voice memos. Amazing how many ideas I would have lost otherwise.
Oh no I definitely do that, but when I'm in that bit between consciousness and sleep, THAT'S when I get ideas and I can't play music then!
Keru
AND WHY IS IT ALWAYS BAROQUE MUSIC?
MinervaMeThis
As a writer, oh yeah.
svennisiggi
I have no idea what to do next,, im really tired. In bed, im suddenly awake again and i have 3 new ideas.
Yup, and when you wake up they'll be gone! Do what you can, leave what you can't :)
You can improve that bit though, i remember some of it. There are memory improvement classes and articles online.

Your prefrontal cortex is making you stick to rules. Being a bit tired or drunk makes people more "creative". Be bold, risky and confident.
Ah yes, of course because you lose all inhibitions, right? Hence make more "risky" choices, within music of course
That's how it "feels". Ironically it inhibits the effects of neurotransmitters in the PFC, so it works "less", so you lose your inhibitions.
But both can cause permanent damage, and alcohol can cause addiction. So it's best to train yourself to act "as if" without the stimulant.

Had a dream recently where there was the most wild but amazing jazz music going on, and I don't listen to jazz really and I know I've 1/2
Never heard anything like it so clearly my subconscious made it up. Which is weird bc I'm a really uncreative person when I'm awake at least
trangalanga
have u tried drugs? not for the rest of your life just a little while
It's impressive what our minds create subconsciously!
For sure, if only we could all unlock it, without drugs anyway
