Wow Ron I had the SAME dream the other night![:o] Ha, just kidding, would be weird huh? Sorry no sky scrapers anywhere, they like em low around hear. Even Alexandria is pretty low, old buildings. Washington Monument is not really that high either. Anyway, nice meeting you in your dreams. Steve Vai had a cool story about the "trip" he took as a youngster that was the base for his "Passion and Warfare". Dreams are in fact hallucinations caused by a chemical that is released by the brain. If you deliberately stay awake, eventually the chemical is released after it builds up, and you hallucinate while awake. I have a theory that people who have weird experiences like "alien abductions", demonic possession, and what not, have a problem where the chemical is released when they not a sleep (Steve Vai also had "alien" experiences as a result of his natural trip). Also if you watch some people sleep, they twitch because the body is paralized to prevent one from acting out the dream physically. Folks sleep walk when the body did not do it's "paralizing" job. But some folks actually go through the process of getting paralized, and the dream chemicals get released, all before they actually "fall asleep". The result is a rather horrific experience where added fear and paranoia influence the "dream", but during a semi awake state. The person can't tell what is real. Pretty crazy. No drugs needed. I have not remembered a dream in awhile, unless it was scary, or sexy. Busted guitar is a reocurring theme, trying to hide the damage from my father who reappears after years of hiding out. (He died when I was 17). But those come rarely. I know many who say their dreams are black and white. I have always dreamt colors. Orange Conde with cracks and holes and paint peeling off. Ricardo
