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 :-) Luca
