M84 and R33D

[Supacruze]

Hello all, I am new here...

I am posting because I had 2 dreams recently which seemed involve subject matter involving stars....

in one I was groggily pointing to a star map which showed Messier 84, and in another I was repeating the phrase "R33D". I have done wikipedia and google searches for Messier 84 and turned up the usual blurbs. The closest I could get for R33D was RCW 33/Gum 17. I am just wondering if anyone here might have more info on what Messier 84 is and if there is any such star or astronomical body called "R33D". Thanks.

Hi and Welcome to IIS :hi:

If I may, my interpretation to your dream is as follows, M83 is one of the closest and brightest barred spiral galaxies in the sky and R33D spelt backwards is DEER.

A deer in headlights comes to mind :P

So perhaps try not to focus too much on the beam :)

Humor aside, welcome and both those dreams are actually quite intriguing. Have you ever looked at a star chart before and seen Messier Objects cataloged :question:
