I'M JUST NOT MYSELF TODAY!

BIG LIST! To speed loading, it's been split in two: A-I, and this one, J-Z.

"I'm just not myself today!" Dreams where you've changed age, name, identity, culture, tribe, race, species, or even fundamental nature--you're silicon-based life, or a robot or energy being or a ghost...

It's funny--about half the people I've asked are nearly always themselves--they literally wouldn't dream of being someone else! The other half... anything goes. And few dreamers fall between.

The length of this list shows which group I belong to...

RELATED TOPICS: dream careers - cross-age dreams: you're much older or younger - cross-gender dreams: you learn how the other half lives - cross-cultural dreams: your race, culture, professional or tribal identity has changed - you're not even the same species! - cross-platform dreams: you're not even carbon! Silicon, steel, energy, data, spirit... - See also the full INDEX OF SUBJECTS.

The World Dream Bank has 1500 dreams and dream images plus 500 other pages on dreamwork and shamanism, creativity, genius, art, surrealism and fantasy. Unless otherwise noted, all material copyright Chris Wayan, 2001-2006.
