Note the alt text. It reads: "I have a levitation class at 25:131.
Better set the alarm to 'cinamon'."
OK, admit it: How many of you guys have thought something almost exactly
like this while half asleep? ;-)

I have an alarming number of dreams that involve school even to this day
- things like forgetting my locker combination, not being able to find
classrooms, etc. From my high school, not from college.
But I think the closest I come to something like this is ordering
something with my credit card on the phone and giving an expiration date
of 17-2011 or somesuch.

Ah. Yes, XKCD has already documented this too.

I can honestly say I have *never* had a dream anything like this. :-P

Heh. I keep wanting to encrypt by brain to stop the auditors from trying
to steal it...

Yup, that one had a serious feeling of Deja Vu for me. :-)
And today's was quite good as well, but it helps if you've heard the Car
Talk radio programme (we listen to the podcast every week - think of Tom
& Ray as being the geekier cousins (who know more about how cars work as
a result of an engineering background) of the guys on Top Gear).

LOL, you would certainly want to use an anti-heuristic algorithm, just to
confuse them.

Ibid.
That, and being in big old rambling houses with secret passages and cool
stuff like that. Not scary, tho. :-)

Exams are a common theme in mine. Either I show up having forgotten we
have an exam. Or I'm at home, it's 1 pm, and I suddenly realize there's
a 3 hour exam beginning at 12:30pm, and the rest of the dream is a mad
rush to get there.
University + high school - both show up.

Back in the days of playing Doom 2 (the last 3D shoot'em up game I
played seriously), I'd have lots of dreams where I was the main guy in
the game, running around and shooting monsters. Lots and lots of fun.
Always would end with a monster that didn't seem to want to die. Even
then, it was still more fun than scary.

I'd like one like that. It's pretty rare these days that I remember
dreams, but I had one the other night that had me working as a detective
in the NYCPD (ala Law and Order). No idea who was there or what we were
investigating, though.
Flying is pretty common for me.

I had a weird experience a week ago last Saturday - don't know what I was
dreaming about, but I woke up convinced I had forgotten to check and see
what time I needed to be up for a meeting, took me a couple of mins to
realise that it was Saturday.
I don't often forget what day of the week it is. Well, that's not
strictly true, often I forget while I'm working what the day/date is, but
to forget that it's a weekend.....I think that means I need a
vacation. :-)

I always knew I was playing too much FPS games when my dreams had
crosshairs. I always knew I was playing too much Thief when all the shadows
during the evening walk were preternaturally jumping out at my attention.
