I have a question, does anyone else out there have non-linear dreams? 
I have dreams in which it appears that I am having several dreams at 
once, but they all interact somehow.  I have tried to have linear dreams,
but I never seem to get the hang of it.  

Anyway, I had a dream the other night which was quite disterbing to me
and I would like to see if anyone out there can interpret it for me.
This was the first dream that I have had in a long time that was
semi-linear in that everything convereged at the end.

There were seven distinct dreams.  One was totally symbolic, with the 
three main characters being a circle, a square, and a triangle.  The 
second was concreat, a dream about me a work.  The third dream was 
extreamly plesent, and takes place on a grassy feild on a warm summer
day.  The forth dream is a nightmare.  The fifth dream was futureistic
and took place on board the Enterprise (Star Trek). the next dream seemed
prehistoric; it took place in the house I grew up in, and we were being 
attacked by Indians.  Not real Indians, they were dressed in the types of
costumes that you would buy at toys and weels, and they had plastic axes,
but they still frightened me.  The final dream was of a control room in
which I could marginally control and observe the other dreams. 

Since I could not think of any other way to discribe the dream, I created
the following flow chart.  Most of the details have been left out for lack
of space, but this does show the highlights.

That is the way I remember the dream, (it could have been seven different dreams
but I was only asleep for 2 and a half hours.  It seems that these dreams are
all connected, but I can't figure out who the face at the end is.  At first I
thought that it could be me, but that explaination did not fit with the rest of the dreams.

Thanx for your feed back.
