Some of us have wild and wacky dreams, and we pray they don't reveal anything about our personalities. One time I visualized I was playing chess with SpongeBob SquarePants; I'm scared to find out what that bizarre vision may reveal about me.

Chris Lackner, a writer for "The Gazette" concludes:
"If you've recently dreamed about sex with a stranger, flying or the dead coming back to life, chances are you're a liberal."
