  I don’t think so, although I have never read anything about this in scientific journals or so. I think dreams are a special thing anyhow, because most of us cannot influence what we are dreaming. It could be, but this is really just a guess, that people who are having very serious jobs where they have to stick to facts and cannot imagine a lot might have more imaginative dreams to make up for it. What do you think?

Hmm I don’t think so..I still have wicked dreams, in fact they seem to get better as I get older! 🙂
