Dreaming...

This week's poll has to do with dreaming.

For me, dreaming is like the best kind of late-night TV. I have some of the wackiest dreams around, so it's unusual for me to be bored while I sleep.

Like just last week, I had a dream where I was walking down the street, and then there was a shoot-out (Hollywood-style, with slow motion and crazy camera angles) between a cop and a bad guy, and the bad guy's bullet hit my hand. The next day (still in my dream), the skin around the bullet wound looked pretty weird, so I went to the doctor and the doctor told me that the bullet had given me super powers. Yessss.

It's always fun to wonder what your dreams really mean (come on, we've all peeked at a dream dictionary at one point or another). It's hard for me to believe that dream interpretation is as straightforward as looking up a word, though. Objects and colours mean different things to different people, so how can any one thing have the same interpretation for everyone?

To end on a weird dream fact, did you know that some people dream exclusively in black and white? And that people born blind can have dreams that involve sound, smell, and touch? Pretty cool, eh?

If you've had a weird dream recently, or if you find an odd dream dictionary interpretation to share, post it as a comment below.

P.S. If anyone invents a machine that records dreams onto DVD, please let me know.
