Oh, well, since we're at it... I do always dream in Italian, vivid colour
and generally nonsensically. When I was little I often dreamt a steamrail
arriving in a station. I dreamt it in black and white, dunno why. Probably
because I don't usually visualize past images in vivid colour, perhaps
because of
all the old films which are not in B&W... does this happen to you? Anyway,
back to dreaming, just this night I've dreamt the girl I like... the problem
is that she disappeared immediately, and I've passed the whole dream looking
for her! I hope this doesn't mean anything bad :-)
