Writers at times say a character, a setting, or even a whole story bubbles up from whole cloth. Sometimes we find the same archetypal beings recurring, like the imagery of Shaman-viewed entities Hancock mentions in Supernatural.
Stroker had a dream of a vampire king rising from a grave, Lovecraft said his most realistic dream was of Nyarlathotep the Crawling Chaos (who also bore an odd resemblance to Tesla), Howard said Conan appeared in his mind from whole cloth.
Then we have the space between fiction and vision, with perhaps two of the preeminent examples being Dante's Divine Comedy and the Dialogues of Plato.
Consider Eric Weiss' suggestion that are in a nexus of Subtle Worlds, that our thoughts are influenced by different subtle planes. So regarding fiction...Maybe it's all coming from Somewhere(s)?:
