I am often not myself in dreams. At times I am a different age, different gender, different personality. I once dreamed I was a Sherlock Holmes like fellow, and another time I was a male youth who was a gang member (in real life I am female and middle aged and definitely not in a gang), another time I was a high priestess of sort, another time I was male and connected to some sort of electric web on what seemed like a different world, oh and one time I dreamed I was a giant goose sitting in the middle of a golf field.
