Time

Dreams of time and time-travel--dreams set in the far past or future, dreams of time-machines, dreams of time frozen and time running backward...

This page excludes predictive dreams unless they show events a decade or more in the future (quite rare). I figure ten-year foresight's as good as a time machine...
