LUNA

Dreams and dream images of the moon--or set on Luna, in the future. I was surprised to find how many of these dreams I'd been having. My dreams seem convinced we'll bring it to life--in the long run.

In a few dreams here you aren't on the moon, but meet, greet or eat the moon!

For dreams of other moons than Luna, including Titan, Io and Miranda, see Places.

RELATED TOPICS: Dreams set on Earth - Mars - other worlds - terraforming - orbital dreams - deep space - cosmic dreams - doors into other universes - shamanic dreams - astral planes - Hell - Heaven - San Francisco - there, we've covered the whole spectrum... - See also the full INDEX OF SUBJECTS.
