Most of my posts seem to be at most distantly related to the post I'm replying to, due to my memory making weird leaps.  Ah well.

I once ran a short-lived Sandman pbem game in which one character (a mechanic) had a dream where he he thought he was awake and was supposed to fix an old foreign car.  In the front seat he found a single bird's feather (or so he thought, actually a feather from something else).  Then, while looking under the hood for what was wrong, the car came alive and smashed him into the wall until he died.  Then he woke up.  Goes to work, and there's a different guy with the same car as in the dream.  The PC very carefully checks for any feathers in the passenger section of the car, but finds none.  Upon looking under the hood, there's a lot of blood and guts and ragged bird feathers all over the inside.  That really scared the player, and he returned the car to the owner unrepaired.  Turns out the guy had just run over a bird or some such, but that didn't matter.

Anyway, the relation of dreams and reality triggered that anecdote.
