The key, of course, is listening to your dreams, writing them down, and letting the story unfold. And it definitely adds another layer to your dreams.

That's wild. I don't think I've experienced that before, but it would be very cool, albeit bizarre. I think I used to dream about tests and due dates when I was in school and I've definitely had jobs that leaked into my dreams (not fun to work all day then sleep and dream about work too - it's like it never ends). Sounds to me like you take your schooling very seriously, and that's not so bad. Wow, you have historical dreams? That’s wild.

The most amusing usually takes place in the Chin (Qin) Dynasty of China. The dynasty ended in 1911, and I always thought they are goofy looking, because this is a period of transition where you can see people wearing traditional clothes, but using some relatively modern gadgets (such as eye glasses). Of course, in my dreams it's taken up a notch. I would see horses and carriages pulling into a parking lot, turn into a space, and just stand there until the drives come back. There are also valet guys standing in front of an inn to park these horses and carriages for patrons. And then they also have problems parallel parking these things. These are the kind of dreams that I wake up laughing from because they just look so ridiculous to me. Juxtaposition of the modern and ancient is a common theme for my amusing dreams. And then there's the one that I have many times of missing a big final exam. I would just be wondering around the campus and then when I look up at the clock, I think, "Hey, isn't there a test going on? Hm, I am missing it." Maybe that should be making me nervous, but I really don't feel any of that. It's like, meh, I don't really care. <abbr><em>Kelvin Kaos last blog post..<a href="http://www.puppetkaos.com/2009/03/new-sewing-machine/" rel="nofollow">New Sewing Machine!</a></abbr></em> I’ve had many amusing dreams.
