Good point! Is it caused from something alien? I often get that idea in my mind and I think of Stephen King's Tommyknockers. Did anyone read this book or see the movie? I thought it was thrilling.

I have dreamed of earth boring machines (like those in Journey to the Centre of the Earth). I don't know if it was symbolic or literal or both, but it felt like I was meant to know these machine exist.

Speaking of which, ever noticed how life imitates art and visa versa? How movies get reality of the future so right so often. It makes me wonder, is future reality a product of today's science fiction and thinking, or is the future being precognitively divined by today's (and yesterday's) brilliant science fiction authors?

Oh, and Dawn, I remain enchanted by the experiences you once shared of hearing the sounds of gorge(s). It's worth a repeated telling, I think.
