My own tend to feel like low-budget indie films, where I don't get the girl, and nothing very futuristic happens. The last dream I had that I remember well, had me running around in a Prince of Persia style place (I've never played the games or seen the film), where at one point I jumped and fell around 100 feet, and to my surprise (in the dream) was not hurt. As things progressed I met a very beautiful woman in a sort of a tasteful I Dream of Genie outfit (I don't have a sexy dental hygienist in my life like Spike does, so I have to settle for this), who at one point sat in my lap, but then ran off with a more exciting guy, in a quest to save the day... <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>I had a dream several years ago where I was dressed along the lines of Robin Hood, relaxing on the grass, and in a retro steampunk city that made me think of Atlantis. A parade was going on, with scantily clad women on floats, that ran in front of an extremely deep man-made body of absolutely crystal clear water. Monstrously huge gears and cogs were submerged inside of it, for some unknown purpose, and people were zipping around on the surface with strange looking water jet-ski's that didn't seem to have enough parts to possibly operate. A New Age female friend listened carefully as I spoke about the dream, and then declared authoritatively that I was remembering a previous life that occurred during the age of Atlantis! ; ) <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Anyway, I just wondered if some of you had really amazing dreams about the future, and how much stock if any, you put into them. And has anyone ever tried lucid dreaming? Years ago I spent $300 on a Novadreamer device to help me to lucid dream, but I could never get the desired effect.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>John<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div></div></body></html>
