Do You Dream This Man?

[Greymalkin]

A website is trying to trace a mysterious man who has been reported in the dreams of thousands of people.
www.thisman.org urges people to contact them if they have seen him - and literally thousands have done just that.
The site says the story began in a New York psychiatrist's office in January 2006. A patient drew a picture of a man that had been giving her advice in her dreams.
The drawing was later seen by another patient who also said she recognised the man from her dreams.
Prompted by this the psychiatrist sent a copy of the picture to some of his collegues with patients who had recurring dreams.
According to the website many other patients recognised the man as a 'frequent presence' in their dreams.
Testimonies from all over the world appear on the website. Each describes the different ways this man has appeared to them.
The site offers a variety of explanations to this strange event citing Jung's psychoanalysis and pseudo-religious mysticism.
The site even suggests an individual may have learned the ability to 'surf through dreams'.

I must say, ultimately 'this man' frightens me because he's got this stare that is reading my soul. I can't scroll down to the part where I see him, or I just get extremely uncomfortable.

Alas, I've never seen him before now.

I must admit, I'm not the sort of person who is easily scared but there's something about that face that gives me the heeby-jeebies.

He looks rather like a young,more dashing dungeon master,from the cartoon version of Dungeons and Dragons.His face is just the right side of hobbit,to be appealing to the eye.I also get a touch of 'Hanuman' in that pic.

Sheer brilliance.Drama generation technique.The features are wide and open and the smile is one most people would call 'sincere'.

I wonder how many more will dream of him,soon after looking at that pic?

I think it's a hoax.

I do too ellis, just a feeling I get.

It is quite fascinating though, whatever the truth.

*shudders* Oh dear, I do hope it is a hoax.
The dream-surfer theory is rather interesting...

I personally think it's a hoax as well, but to be honest, that face gave me the creeps! If it did appear in my dreams giving me advice I wouldn't take any of it. I've noticed in my past that if I get turned off immediately, it's for a good reason.
