Wow! I'm not the only Brick Dreamer im the world!
There were many, many times in my youth that I would have the following dream...
I'm somewhere playing with LEGO and build this absolutely stupendous
creation and I would wake up, feeling a terrible loss :(
Then somehow I got this idea that if I knew I was waking up, that I'd just
have to hold onto the creation with all my might, and I could carry it out
to the 'real' world from my dream.
So I'd dream, build, and feel myself waking up and I'd hold onto the
creation, and I'd wake up, and there it was in my hands, and I'd get so
excited I'd fall out of bed and wake up. Hey, it happened way more than once!
That's what happened when I was younger.
Now I still dream of LEGO every so often, 'specially when I'm focused on
building something, but those 'reality' dreams don't happen anymore.
My LEGO dreams lately are strange. Sometimes I dream about the time in high
school when I made LEGO movies and showed them at school, but in my dream
the people watching the movie would be my co-workers 'n stuff (and the movie
in my dream was far better than the real ones I made).
It really is amazing how an unobtrusive little liece of ABS can have the
lasting impact that it does--from my first hazy memories of my childhood in
the late '60s and early '70's--Christmas time getting those LEGO Basic 2, 4,
6, or 8 sets, to today, where like at least 5 percent of my net income goes
to buying or developing my LEGO hobby.

Oh well.
