Most of the times I write as a pantser, ideas flow freely, but I feel that somehow I have already thought them but are still evolving as I write.

I'm interested in hearing more about that, @saulos. Are you saying that the ideas seem to come from somewhere in your sub-conscious mind? The reason I'm asking is that is what happens to me. I often write a story that seems to already exist somewhere, and I am merely being the scribe.
Well, I dream everyday, many of my ideas come from dreams, besides sometimes I can manipulate my dreams. Also, some times when I write I reach a degree of abstraction so deep that it seems that I am dreaming.
That is really amazing and I have to say I am envious. I think that means you have a truly creative mind. I have been writing since I was about 8 years old, but I have never been certain whether it is because I have some innate creative ability, or if I have a lifelong thirst to write... or perhaps a desire to achieve immortality by producing creative works that will outlast my time on this earth.
