Spoiler for Excerpt from my dream journal 4/18/09: I went back up to the top of the hill, and my men were already starting to build us a fort. Note: It almost seems like my brain "transported" me back in time to when Washington built his makeshift fort to defend his army from the French. I walked inside the fort, which was half-completed, and i saw George Washington, but it didn't seem to surprise me that one of the founding fathers and a personal role model of mine was standing in front of me. He was just working on building the wall out of wood and sticks, so i decided to help him by putting a few pieces of wood into the wall to fortify it. After that, we both walked out of the fort, and then my brother (Grant) was there with us, and we were walking towards the campsite where the tents and the fire and a few of my men were. Along the way, me and George Washington had a conversation that i dont quite remember the details of, but it was something along the lines of me telling him about modern technology, and for some reason he was already acquainted with all of the technology that we have today such as cars, lights, etc. I said: "How do you already know about all these things that i have in my time like cars, TV's, Radio's, and others?" He said something like "I just know." Then Grant said to me, "He shouldn't know about our technology because he died back in the 70's." And I said, "Yeah, and it was the 1870's at that.(Which was totally wrong lol.) Even if he was born in the 1970's he still wouldn't know about everything." Then Grant sort of laughed and we walked into the camp. There were tents and a fire and my men were just sort of sitting around, and i walked over near the fire and i think I said something to Mr. Washington along the lines of "It's really cool that I can talk to someone who lived 200 years ago." And then he said "Yeah, If i could bring anyone back to life and talk to them I would pick Edmund Burke." (Subconscious suggestion to study another important person in history? I will look up and read about Edmund Burke now.) Then I said, "Yeah, if i could bring anyone back I would pick Thomas Paine!" and Washington said "That's a good choice." http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...65#post1075165 I had a dream where i met George Washington and had a conversation with him! Unfortunately it wasnt lucid, but what he said to me makes me want to go read about Edmund Burke. I didnt know anything about this man before last night, except for maybe i have heard his name a few times. Wikipedia says this about him: Edmund Burke (12 January 1729[1] – 9 July 1797) was an Irish statesman, author, orator, political theorist, and philosopher who, after relocating to England, served for many years in the British House of Commons as a member of the Whig party. He is mainly remembered for his opposition to the French Revolution. It led to his becoming the leading figure within the conservative faction of the Whig party, which he dubbed the "Old Whigs", in opposition to the pro-French-Revolution "New Whigs" led by Charles James Fox. He is generally viewed as the philosophical founder of modern conservatism.[2] I think my subconscious was telling me to read up on this guy, although i am not sure i will fully agree with him since he opposed the French Revolution according to wikipedia. I will look for some of his writings to read. That was awesome!
