Dreams do seem to have meanings, rog. So it isn't a matter of them "trying to say something" as it is a matter of us trying to learn something from them. They come some other place in the human mind. They are remarkable and can even be considered like a vision or hallucination or even a temporary psychosis. The notion that they are just some discharge of random mental noise only satisfies some people, but that is not to say that there isn't something profound there to be discovered.

No, far from it, not purely random, it's going though the recent thoughts and trying to make useful connections.

Right now, apart from good-old Matt 'S'. these dreams might be all we have. Most 'peakers' want to know what is going to happen next. That's a given.

If some-one could give me an old-time crystal ball right now and a PRECISE manual of instructions (like where do I plug it in, how do I get a signal on this thing...) I WOULD use it. Except I don't have one...

I guess I hoped that at some point in this chat, there would be some 'old crone' that would chip in and say her bit. I guess that was a kind of, stupid hope.

Instead there's just us - the usual guys. Rats :o(

Try dieoff.org. It's cold logic and precedes Mr Savinar.

Oh yea, and to complete my current circus of delights, this interface keeps mucking up my emoticons. That was supposed to be a sad face, idiots!

For reference, this is a confused young man:

Serious, bearded person, 40-plus:

Me, right-now:

(Not happy but determined).

I'm sure the interface will completely mess it up but I have tried!

Yep, been there already. Read my new sig - maybe not the best philosophy in the world but it's all mine and I'm sticking with it ;o)
