Hello dreamers, > I *know* humans cannot fly I can fly in my dreams, and I know it's not really possible in reality. I also have a very technical background, so you cannot blame that. Apparently, I've heard that flying in a dream means you're optimistic and/or happy about events around you. > maybe there's a nice English word for that profession. My wife tells me "oneiromancer" was in the last Dune book to describe people who are just this. It's in my dictionary (dated 1917): oneirocritic n. Interpreter of dreams oneirology n. The science of dreams from "oneiros" Greek meaning "dream". Pronounced: on-ear-ology I remember getting a book (for someone else) describing what things meant in dreams. Some of them were strange. I wish I had a copy! Bryan Dongray
