I am not 100 years old, but am only 60. But I am cranky, opinionated and fairly sure of myself. that is what happens as one grows older and wiser.

So, when somebody claims to have had a dream in which they aged a hundred years, then simply wait and observe. Are they cranky? Are they opinionated? Are they sure of themselves? Are they wise?

Or have they simply come up with a New Age Story designed to give themselves a modicum of momentary fame?

Now, Mohamed had told a similar story. That he was taking a nap when the Angel Gabriel came to him. the surprise made Mohamed kick over a glass of wine that had been sitting near his feet. Well, the Angel Gabriel took Mohament for a complete tour of the World and of Heaven above, inclusive of a very intricate briefing regarding acceptable Religious Doctrines. Anyway, when the Angel Gabriel brought Mohamed back, there was still time to pick up the wine glass before it had totally spilled.

In the case of Mohamed, there where many people who had known him from before, and they were impressed with the transformation that was made in Mohamed and chose to believe his story. Or maybe I am giving them too much credit. Maybe, like the 100 Year Lucid Dreamer, he simply decided upon a wonderful story as an introduction to his new career as ... what would now be called a New Age Guru.
