The man of dreams
In January 2006, a psychiatrist in New York received one of his patients in his office as on any given day. In that session, the young woman explained that she had dreamed repeatedly of a man she did not even know. He had an incipient baldness, very thick eyebrows and extremely thin lips, especially the upper one. While he was listening to the description, the doctor drew the portrait of the subject. He did not give it much importance and left it on the table. The tables changed when, in their next consultations, two more patients claimed to have seen the same man in their dreams. The psychiatrist decided to make copies of the drawing and send it to several colleagues. Months later, they saw that the number of people who had dreamed of him kept increasing and they chose to create a web page in which all their appearances were recorded. The doctors discovered that the mysterious man had sneaked into the dreams of about two thousand people. His "appearances" are the most disparate. One of the patients claimed to have seen him dressed as Santa Claus. Another said he fell in love when he saw him. A third party says that when he dreams he flies, the man does it with him, and never speaks. The phenomenon has given rise to multiple conspiracy theories. One of them indicates that the intruder is a real person with the ability to break into dreams. Another, even claims that it is a hidden project of governments to control the lives of citizens. The most scientific hypothesis, however, indicates that this face is part of the "common consciousness".
