Dear AMS,
      I find that I often travel to different countries in my dreams. I even meet people, and have meals with them etc. except one thing is wrong... the countries don't look anything like they do when I've actually visited them. What do you think is going on?
     Yours,
Confused Dream Traveller in Melbourne

Dear Confused,
   Looks to me like you're doing some astral travelling. In other words, you've actually left your body and travelled to these places. "But how", you may ask, "did I have meals with people? Were would the food go?" Well, you apparently assumed someone else's body temporarily.  You know how people say, "I don't feel like myself today..." Well its because someone took over their body. And as far as why the places don't look quite the same as you remember in your real life visits, you were obviously not in the city you thought you were in. You astrally travelled wrong. You headed to London, but landed in Kuwait.  The next time it looks wrong just head off again. Now I know this sounds like an elaborate theory, but all the pieces fit perfectly. If this isn't astral travelling I don't know what is!?! "But couldn't there be another explanation?", you may ask. "Perhaps because I enjoy travelling and am anticipating an upcoming trip I'm dreaming about it. And the places don't look the familiar because, well, its a dream and we often envision places a bit differently in dreams."  Sure I suppose this could be the case, if you want to buy into that same old tired, psycho-dream-babble-of-an-excuse-drivel we always give to dreams..."Its just the subconscious working out things we have pressing on our minds."   Anyway, take your pick. Go on and believe its all in your mind, or the next time use it as an opportunity to sharpen your astral travelling skills. Why not see if you can get from Melbourne to Dallas for a plate of fajitas , jump over to a cafe in Paris for coffee and dessert, stop in Hong Kong for a little late night dancing and make it back to Australia before your alarm goes off at 7am! Now that would be a my idea of a dream come true!
