- This dream factory is surely there, but it is important to notice that
- this is just another department of your own mind. Dreams come out of
- your whole set of experiences, memories etc., only arranged in a
- perhaps surprising way. To explore the corners of your mind where this
- gets cooked up is very interesting research...

- Seriously, it is yourself who's fooling you, and it's probably likely
- that dreams are indeed prearranged, but as is always discussed here,
- you are able to fool yourself not to let yourself fool yourself (got
- it? :-)

- Happy New Year,
