This morning I woke up a bit early and then the alarm went off. I drifted back to sleep and started having dreams about a car that was driven by a joystick and ran on fuel cells. I was backing it out of the driveway and tooling around my neighborhood. When I woke up a few minutes later, my wife, who was listening to the clock radio, told me they had just had a story on a GM car, that was identical to the one I described in my dreams. Makes you wonder how your dreams could be altered by suggestions that others would make while you are dreaming. 1:14:30 PM    comment []
