Are you a Dreaming Prodigy?
Sometimes the most informative pieces of information get stuck down into the bowels of the forum, where only a few people ever find them. I thought this recent conversation was rather important in light of two items: 1. Recent problems in our website forms and database, particularly the DreamBase, and 2. The expected changes to our website in [...]
2015 Predictions (Proj Año Results)
Welcome to 2015….another year to remember. How do I know? Well, truthfully, I don't. But if history is any guide (especially with all the stats we've been keeping), then our recent dream initiative called Project Año should give us about an 80-90% look at what the next 365 days might bring us.

But despite that, the bot managed to pick up some clear memes at [...]
Lucky Agents – This meme was exhausting!
There's no word in the history of DreamBot that has been so determined and pesky as the word Agent. There's no doubt that the collective unconscious has been seeing this story developing, and so we'll explore the long linguistics trail. We'll look at the word Agent to pull out some timing data, but we'll also dig into the [...]
