Most of the time, hearing about someone elses dream is rather boring, I think this is because the most compelling aspect of a dream is usually missing from the tale, that elusive element is the emotional component, fear, feeling lost, the impact of seeing a dead loved one, these feelings are among the most powerful ones in the human-emotional catalog. About a month ago I had a most disconcerting dream, I dreamt that I was home, I grew tired, I went into my bedroom and lay down on my bed on my back, arms at my sides and after some time, fell into a slumber, I awoke with this dream still fresh in my memory, I was laying in bed in the same position as in the dream, laying on my back, arms neatly at my sides. The one constant with dreams is that when you wake up, you discover that the dream was not, is not, real, how strange it felt to see that my dream was completely, utterly matched by reality, it was the oddest feeling I have ever had upon waking up from sleep.

What happens is that when you sleep, your mind gets board, and tunes in telepathically to other minds. The events you recalled were actually performed by the person you were tuned into. Flying dreams are often the result of tuning in to the minds of birds, or at least the visual cortex of the bird brain[*]. Some minds are more compatible with our own than others, which is why your mind tunes into them more often than others (same resonant frequency?). [*] I have dreamt of flying down to land at a rubbish tip, and on a different occasion of walking along a pebble strewn path at a height of six inches. With all this in mind, next time you dream, try to remember to look into a mirror, and see who's face you are looking at. I recall having found the experience quite confusing to my dreaming mind. ;) Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
