I'm many 'things' beside a writer but if I answer with my current hat I'd say "I can go to a printed or electronic book of mine which has frozen in time a page of my writing style and imagination. And that allows me to time travel back to the way I was before I turn back to now."

You're betrayed.

As funny and child-like as I please, I'd be keen on a Narnian adventure. Talk a few animals up. Get set straight by Aslan. Fight the good fight.

This works for me:
I switch to a new or an old idea that I still like but haven't been working on and then start writing.
Don't get all judgy with what you're doing. Even if it's crap keep on exercising your writing muscles. The muse always comes.

Keep writing.
Don't stop writing.
If you get bored with a novel set it aside and work on something else and when you come back it will feel like a new thing (God how I wish someone had hit me over the head with that obvious strategy when I was in my teens).
And read and read and read anything that grabs your interest.
And then, keep writing.

Dreams, bizarre experiences and specific characters stuck like flotsam in my head.

The idea came with a dream I had about a young woman on a road trip with her mother who can't understand why she's so different than everyone else though she clearly doesn't look like everyone else. The novel grew from that small seed.
If that doesn't make sense here's a haiku I wrote about it:
Risking absurdity and vainglory: a haiku with echoes in Romany
From dream, Jílori
sang sprang into a story.
So road trippery.
