In Cambodia, I was recognized because of my ghost story.

I can say my ghost story is quite good because I use my own experience.

I have been haunted since I was six years old, including house spirit and ghost outside the house.

I have been haunted alone and in group (with my classmates). I have been haunted in the morning, at afternoon and at night. I have haunted while sleeping and walking. I have haunted in house, school, hotel and office.

I have a lot of experienes related to the ghost.

First meet with them was a little bit scary, but then I felt I loved to meet with them, and I have kept strengthen and improve my braveness and now I don't have big fear.

Besides meeting directly, I usually saw them in my dreams.

It is not secret that I was born with poor health.

When I was sixteen years old, my health dropped, and it was a bottom line of my life. I was serious sick, everyone in the family was very worried. It took me ten years to be better.

During those years, I dreamt about the ghost every nights. In the dreams, they haunted me very bad and scary. I was scared that I didn't want even to close my eyes.

One afternoon, I slept and I dreamt about ghost. I saw they wanted to drag me out of my bed, and I saw they pulled my legs. I wanted to shout but I could not shout, and I could not even lift my arms. At that time, I was angry, and I shouted at the ghost, "If you dare, do it. I will revenge you. I will kill you. You are ghost, it means you are dead, but I will make you die once again, and I will keep following you to kill you, though you go to the hell, I will go to the hell to kill you." Immediately, the ghost released my legs and disappeared.

Then I woke up. I remembered my dreamt, and I thought the ghost was not scary at all, I thought they were like human, they dared to haunt when we were afraid of them.

I told myself to be brave to fight with the ghost in the dream.

It started with the dream I met the ghost, but I was not scared of them, and afterwards, I became like the wonder woman, I became very good to fight the ghosts in the dreams.

It carried on many months, and I felt my dreams were amazing, they were like the movie, so I wrote them down my diary.

After ten years, my health was improved.

In 2017, I rebuilt my writing career again, then I decided to try writing ghost story based on my experience and my dream, and my work got recognized.

I felt good about my creative concept, and after that, I kept using my dreams, not only for writing ghost story but also for writing others including story.

 

I think many writers have their own way to find the concept or idea of the story (except stealing or pirating). Me too, I have my own ways and among them is getting it from the dream.

If you are a newbie in this industry, perhaps you can think about using this method. Because the dream is amazing, it is full of fantasy and I believe it is not the same even if you dream the same as other. It is really great, my friends, I can guarantee you.

The obstacle to use this method is we cannot remember all the consequence of scenes in the dream. However, it is better than nothing.

So, if you are using your dream to writer a story, you should:

1. put a notebook and a pen near your bed

2. when you get up, write it down, don't wait

3. keep writing it in the note until you think you get enough number scenes

then you can start using it to create your story.

 

That's all what I want to tell you.

Thanks for reading.
