The World Dream Bank:
CROSS-SPECIES DREAMS

LARGE LIST--PATIENCE!

In cross-species dreams, you're a different creature entirely--an alien or an animal or a person evolved (or engineered) from a nonhuman animal. Such dreams are a wonderful opportunity to explore different senses and temperaments and instincts. I think they also force you to feel a lot more empathy for others--human or not.

But those are the psychological effects of such dreams, not the causes. I for one also have a lot of dreams about future centuries, and while working as a terraformer trying to fertilize sterile worlds certainly has symbolic resonance for my present 21st Century life, I also suspect the sheer number of such dreams suggests something else... something literal. After all, the same messages can be conveyed in many symbolic forms. When one recurs endlessly, it's time to ask if it's symbolic... or anticipatory.

And the same may be true for all these dreams hinting that other species are smarter than we think. Time will tell. But before Time tells, I tell YOU, in the hopes of influencing our time toward a little more multispecies democracy. It couldn't hurt. The species you save may be your own.
