Ah dreams! My wife is jealous of my dreams, I try to tell her about them every time I have one and can remember details. I find that if I go over the details as soon as I wake, I can usually remember them fairly well. If I don't do this, the details dissappear in a few minutes and within half an hour or so I can't even be sure I had a dream. We just came back from a 17 night cruise around the Australia from Perth to Sydney and every time I had a dream, I wrote it down and entered the description into the photo album. I think I documented about a dozen or so.
In one dream I had this large blue cushion that would fly when I got onto it, but it only went to about shoulder height. Everyone thought it was a great idea, but I explained it was only a prototype and I was hoping to get it to go higher as I had to be careful I didn't hit people on the back of the head as I was flying along. I also wanted to get it to fly higher!
In another one I went back to the place where I used to work and had to pick something up, so I parked in the roadway along the side of the buildings. When I came back to the car, I could see myself sitting in the drivers seat, but thought to myself "this is great, because I am in the front, I can open the back of the car without having to put down what I am holding". I just thought of opening the back and it opened. I then realised I had forgotten something and so went back in. I walked through one laboratory and some of the people I used to work with 20 years ago were playing squash against one of the walls, even though the room was full of electronic equipment. This didn't seem unusual. I walked into another room and they were about to start an aerobics class, but I was busy and so couldn't stay. I had to go upstairs, but there were no elevators, so I had to climb on the outside of the building, but piled on the outside were cars! You had to climb through the back and out through the windows to make your way up. As I got to the top floor I began to fall. I was saved as the "Cookie Monster" appeared from inside a rubbish bin and reached out and grabbed me. Then I woke!!!
I actually just bought a couple of books from Amazon (I wanted to buy something at 97 cents!) on dreams. They both have very good reviews and don't seem to treat dreams as prophecy, but rather as the brain interpreting events. I don't see any basis for why dreams would fortell the future, if I wanted to know the future, I would have bought books on astrology!
