Goodreads asked David Michael Williams:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

David Michael Williams I'm about to start the first draft of "If Dreams Can Die," Book 3 of The Soul Sleep Cycle. The idea for the series came from a random thought I had about a guy who thinks he recognizes a girl but can't place her. He asks her, but the question comes off like a bad pickup line. Only later do both of them realize that some agency or another has been taking control of their bodies while they sleep, and the action-packed dreams they only sometimes remember are actually happening.

After all, the best spy is the one who doesn't know he/she is a spy...

Many years past before I wrote Book 1, and the series ended up going in a different direction, but sleep phenomena, conspiracies, and the world of dreams all play a big part in The Soul Sleep Cycle. And who knows where the series might go?
