what a nice suit.

@pointbky Derren has good taste in fashion and a rather nice Elizabeth Duke flat cap too

That was brilliant. I almost feel sad for the lady, but I'm afraid she deserves the embarrassment.

@StormCloudsGathering There are some interesting links about this woman if you look her up - I did. She's made she's loads of money from being slightly fraudulent. She seems quite gullible though if she believes that dreams can be recorded electronically using our current technology, maybe someone will be able to do this for real in the future, perhaps in a few hundred years time.

@computersolutions164 Recording dreams or reading peoples minds through technology won't ever be possible not even in a 50 million years

@Jacc0s What makes you say that we have had EEG machines (Electro-Encephalogram Machines) since the 50's. I had several as a kid as I used to suffer from a mild for of epilepsy (Petit-Mal), and I remember the nurse at the time easily telling what was happening and explaining the results to me. That's is not too far away from recording dreams, interpreting them though is an entirely different matter altogether and that might take some time, but I bet you it'll happen one day.

When he askes to swap chairs, he actually wants to get the same view as she has every day thru work. The things he talkes about is only stuff he sees behind her like pictures, decorations etc. And since she is used to see this in her unconcion she actually think that's what she dreamt since it's very familiar...

This is more of a ripoff from the movie "The usual suspects" but hey, it works.

Am i close Derren? ;)

He is creating those images in her mind and she is saying it was her dream.

@Jacc0s They are already creating technology to record stimulants in the brain which tell what they feel like doing(actions) just from neurological sensors.

@Hokahey80 I picked up on this as well. There's definitely a black and white picture on her wall, and he looks up at. The rest of the items are out of camera shot.

I still find this a little strange, when I think of the things in front of me at work, I don't tend to dream about them, or even think about them much.
