That is ON the near horizon.

Quix, I hope your scale of "near" is so vast that "near" is 200 years from now! I so SO want for us to have these disputative UFO threads for the rest of our long lives, that 25 years from now, we're STILL sparring with the folks who think UFOs are all a bunch of hooey. I REALLY WANT THAT TO HAPPEN.

I recall that either during the dream, or in the waking moments following, still in a semi-dream state, I thought of the irony that you and I wouldn't be going to Free Republic to say, "I told you so!" Either because Free Republic wouldn't be accessible (I think that was the reason in the dream) or because at that point, neither you nor I would give a crap about saying, "I told you so" to anybody. And THAT thought, the jump to Free Republic, could have been what brought me to the relief of full wakefulness and the reassurance that it was just a dream and "normal" still existed.
