Where Do You Find Your Inspiration?

I was wondering where you all get your inspiration for games from? I usually get mine from childhood fantasies, books I like, and little bits of movies. I geuss mine are quite popular ones, but what are some others that aren't so normal, abnormal to say, that you all have?I've heard of people getting them everywhere from Dreams to Crossword Puzzles. So, what's your muse?

My inspiration comes from existing games, and how they could be made better, or more interesting. Or, seeing a cool game that tries something new, and thinking how that game would work if you took pieces of it and integrated it into another game. Granted, I've never actually made a game, but that's where my ideas come from.
