I noticed, while I was reading The Silmarillion yesterday, that some of the events in it are very similar to events in Lord of the Rings.
For example, when the Haladin were beseiged by Orcs in The Silmarillion, and Haleth took all of her people to safety, I saw an uncanny resemblance to the people of Rohan and Eowyn leading them to safety. Both events had the same feeling to me when I read them.
Now, when I daydream, oftentimes, I'll replay the same story in my head several times, but the characters and the situation will adapt themselves to fit my current mood, and current set of friends. It'll almost always be the same daydream, with the same end results, but with a different cast. Did Tolkien do something similar here, with his characters? Did he daydream about his story and incorperate those daydreams into the plot?

Elainya I noticed, while I was reading The Silmarillion yesterday, that some of the events in it are very similar to events in Lord of the Rings.

It'll almost always be the same daydream, with the same end results, but with a different cast. Did Tolkien do something similar here, with his characters? Did he daydream about his story and incorperate those daydreams into the plot? Yeah, Haleth totally reminded me of Eowyn as well.
I also do the daydreaming thing all the time. I'd constantly replay The story of Beren and Luthien over and over in my head, they way I would imagine it, and for Turin's story. (Sometimes I drew some little sketches too, good lord I'm a geek >_<)
