Why do people hate when a story starts out with a dream? Like seriously what if a story is so amazing but you won't give it the benefit or the doubt because the beginning is a cliche beginning. Now I understand if it's the whole there was a monster about to slash your head off then you wake up, but if actually creative then why not give it a chance? I personally like stories that do it because it captures my attention and makes me keep reading to find out the meaning behind the dream. Stories that make you think and slowly peice things together are some of the best kinds of stories in my opinion. I Won't lie, this story I'm working on (you'll know what I'm talking about if You read my last post.) well, Im very serious about this story that after I write it I'm thinking about getting it published. The thing is I did start it off with a dream, but at the same time it's not your typical cliche dream. I don't know, do you guys think it's a big deal? Should I be worrying about it or should I just stick with my gut on this one and keep the dream?
