What are those fantastic but of course impossible ambitions you sometimes think about? I suppose the following are common to everyone worldwide...

I know its dumb..but:

1) Time travel: I always wanted to be able to go back in time and see what really happened in the past- for example, meet historical figures etc. A bit like back to the future. I could make bets on horse races etc and make a fortune.

2) Fly on the wall If I could be present but unseen in a whole variety of circumstances, The world would be at my feet.

3) Power of flight: Sometimes i just wish I could launch myself off a mountain and glide along to the next one. .or fly to work instead of taking the bus.

I already have that! I want something more. Invisibility would be cool, but I already have that some of the time when I am talking to the boss. I would like a superhuman ability to endure stupidity like staring at me for 20 minutes and pointing at me.

I am Stare Boy and I am capable of enduring endless amounts of rude stares without getting angry. Beware evil doers!

Computer program that made the things in my head come to fruition in real life - an easy example being a fat pile of cash, but who knows what dark pleasures I'd dream up and make reality.

The ability to produce in any artistic medium (my dream is for one unspecified, not all!) the designs I can create in my head.

To have the ability to remember a simple song that I heard and downloaded back in 2001, lost it and am trying to download again.

-theres plenty doctors can sort that out for you.

But-if you could travel back in time to witness one event, or live briefly in one place or time, what would it be?

Oh I see. I was thinking of the other "impossible dreams". Those freaky, far-out, impossibly far-fetched dreams where you wake up feeling immensely relieved and reassured...

Quote:
*gasp* Oh thank God!! Oh thank God!! Yes, my degrees ARE real, and no I DON'T have to go back and sit that one exam with only 30 minutes to prepare!! Shocked


or a tinge of regret ...

Quote:
Okay, next time I'm definitely entering the Olympic Leaping-off-a-Charging-Horse-onto-a-Pair-of-Water-Skiis competition. What have I got to lose?! Neutral


or even bitter disappointment...

Quote:
Damn, damn my fears of entrapment! If my girlfriend and secretary suggest a threesome ever again, I'm so on it, dream or not! Evil or Very Mad

1967. I'd enjoy the music, the dope and the acid.

I'd like to see how the pyramids were built...or travel back 12,000 years and see what Antarctica was like when it was free of ice....or go back and see famous people like Cleopatra and Helen of Troy and see how beautiful they reallly were.

Three impossible dreams (or the three wishes that I'll ask for when the genie appears).

1. Immortality for me and anyone I choose.

2. The ability to travel through time and space - that way, once I get bored exploring all of the when's here, and I visit the rest of the universe.

3. The ability to create anything that my mind can think of.
