The other day my wife told me that we dream about a total of 6 years in our life, an average of 2 hours for everyday you sleep. [Source: wikipedia on dreams]. That is almost as much time as you would work in 30 years (30*50*40/24/365, assuming you work 40 hours a week for 50 weeks an year). As much as total working life for some of us. And yet, hardly anyone of us care enough dreams, but care enough about work to dream about it.
May be it is time we took dreams more seriously and saw what we can do about them!
