It is said that all stories come from the imagination of the people who write them, but this is not very true. They actually come from the imaginary world. A world known only to those who have the courage to seek it out and go there. It’s a special place where there are no rules and anything is possible. Its only problem is that, once you arrive there, it will be tough to return, especially if you are loaded.
The passage from the world that we call truth, hard, to the imaginary world is wonderful, since the passage is on the territory of the imaginary world, everything is possible. To go to this world of all true possibilities, there are two ways, the first one being to go down the great desert of the white sheet, an expanse of white paper, in which most people get lost and give up. The second is a path that has been traced by dint of having been taken, is not strictly defined, crosses the desert in a straight line. Its entrance is hidden, but it allows people who have already used it to go to the imaginary world more directly by passing through an archipelago of oases. Places of rest developed as people pass along this path of desire.

For those who have already taken it, this path, which is called a path of desire because it was born from the desire of the people who traced it not to get lost in the desert, we can see it by the traces we have to follow on the ground. The oases that I mentioned earlier, where it is necessary to stop, can be found thanks to the only landmark in the desert: a tree. The oases for resting are nearby. In these havens of rest for travelers, you can sometimes see in the sky, after dark, what looks like the northern lights. These are actually ideas from the tangible world that descend into the imaginary world through the air. All ideas from the real world descend into the imaginary world through this desert, because they are rejected from the former. All the ideas of the real world descend into the imaginary world through this desert, because they are rejected from the first. Only some, once in the latter, manage to bring back ideas from where they originated. But for that they have to go up the desert loaded with ideas and thoughts in their luggage.
This is really where ideas and stories come from, and the people who bring them back, allow others to dream.
