    Hmm.
    
    A question on the "Nuclear war" dream:  There was some weeks ago
    a movie or two on the off-network channels involving nuclear war
    where the last scene was real desolation.  My wife and I saw it,
    and sporadically for a few nights afterwards she dreamed of a nuclear
    war aftermath.  I wonder if others saw this flick and/or spoke of
    it or a similar film to others.  (I however _didn't_ dream of nuclear
    war.)  If that's the case, it might be something akin to external
    contagion.
    
    On collective dreams: there may be several explanations for those,
    ranging from an equivalent external seed to telepathic contact.

Again, I think that this is one of those things that people don't notice
because they don't compare notes.  I used to check with friends, and
observed that there was some clustering of intense dreams, but I never
tried to pinpoint a source.  It's hopelessly muddled anyway.  When a
significant fraction of the GNP is devoted to using the electronic and
print media to make people think the same thoughts ("You deserve a break
today!") there's no sorting out telepathy vs technology.

    Yes!  My first husband and I once had the same dream.  We did NOT
    watch a television program beforehand, nor did we discuss what the
    dream was about, but the dream was so intense that I woke up, rolled
    over to make sure I had been dreaming, and found my husband doing
    the same thing.  I asked him if everything was okay, and he began
    to describe the exact dream I had, only from his point of view.
     It was uncanny!  Never had that happen since, either.
