   > The scene opens when I find myself running down a steep grade behind a rhino

   5 inches wide was used and there are space between the circle of blood so the   
   circle is not solid.   
      I get the impression that we are all being herded to the bottom when   
   I wake up.   
      
   That's an *awesome* dream!  Not sure what it means, but it was *awesome!* √   
      
   Impression:  I had the *distinct* feeling that the dreamer's perspective of   
   "running behind the rhino" is the equivalent to being in the perspective of   
   the creature's astral body.  Or in other words, yes, I agree that you were   
   most likely the running    
   rhino, seeing yourself from a 3rd person omniscient perspective.  People in   
   "real life" have occasionally reported out of body experiences similar to this   
   exact same scenario, for instance, one that comes to mind is of one person who   
   reported physically    
   driving a car, only to find a virtually instantaneous shift of perspective to   
   being high above the vehicle, looking down at it as it drove along the   
   highway.  The account I read mentioned it only lasted a moment, long enough   
   for the person to understand    
   what it was being seen, and just long enough to wonder why it is the car   
   hadn't barreled out of control and crashed (it was that sudden fright that   
   caused the person to resume perspective from behind the wheel of the car!)   
      
   The red circle on the rear brings to mind the idea that the rhino was female   
   and in heat.  The image of the red circle itself, however, was an interesting   
   description, and I'm not entirely certain if I read it correctly.  I'm seeing   
   a kind of thick,    
   large version of a cherry life saver, only the center "lane" (if you will) of   
   the candy is transparent (or simply not there.)  If it had been solid, I'd   
   have possibly considered the female rhino to be "virgin."   
      
   More and more, I'm getting the impression that "dreams" are basically   
   "mini-lives" that are played out in a different realm from "real life" but   
   that in no way makes them any less "real" for the short period in which we are   
   inhabiting the dreamer, which    
   makes me wonder, if it's possible to leave a mental impression in another,   
   just as we remember a dream upon waking.  And if this is possible, then is it   
   also possible to *change* a thought left behind in a dreamer (by changing the   
   potentials, decisions,    
   actions, and consequences undertaken within the dream?)
