Last night, I had a dream where I was climbing a rock to get onto a playground. When I got there, my friend was shooting hoops. I turned away for a second and turned back. There was a time machine. He went in it and traveled to a different time. Then like 6 other people disappeared, too.

When I wrote this in my DJ at 2AM, I was half asleep and didn't think about it. When I re-visited my Dream Journal, I literally wanted to punch myself.

How could I miss something so obvious? How can I learn to actually think about this in the dream? My habit of doing reality checks has no effect on doing them in the dream world...
