I'm going to have to describe the latest one in my blog tonight off techgoon.com. Oh yeah, and I think attempting to analyze the dreams based on Freudian principles was an obvious waste of time. Freud's analysis never did hold up very solidly between western/eastern cultures. It's extremely iterant within western cultures alone, sometimes Freudian analysis is spot on, sometimes it's so far off it's insulting. Basically, though, it's successes vs. failures is not too far off from general pop psychology. Carl Jung would have been a better choice for this sort of analysis, I think. His is not as centered around early childhood trauma as Freud's is. I’ve had some dreams involving me miraculously demonstrating superhuman ability and saving people in a bus on multiple occasions.
