From Jen Hubley, your About Today Editor
For quite some time, I kept a dream journal. I eventually stopped, because my dreams were so weird, and also because I realized that all my friends were tired of listening to me talk about them.

Common Dream Interpretations
I figured this out the hard way, when my friend Dennis asked me if he was in any of my dreams. I said he wasn't. "In that case," he said. "Not interesting! Call me back when I have a starring role." It's a fair point.

Why Do We Dream?
Henry David Thoreau said, "Dreams are the touchstones of our characters." I wonder how he would have made of the fact that I frequently dream about zombies. What does that say about my character?

What Do Your Dreams Mean?
Of course, depending on which school of thought you subscribe to, your dreams either mean a great deal about you ... or precisely nothing at all. (For the record, I like to think that my dreams mean that when the zombie apocalypse happens, I will be prepared.)

What Do You Dream About?
This, beyond all doubt, is my favorite reader-submitted dream: "In my dream, I'm rowing a boat with ten naked babies. Before we get to shore, they all jump into the pond together and leave me by myself. They are too young to walk yet."
