			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m intrigued by a new website I&#8217;ve found thanks to a recent segment on the <a href="http://twitter.com/mysteriousuniv">Mysterious Universe</a> podcast that discussed group psychology. <a href="http://thisman.org/dreams.htm">&#8220;Ever Dream This Man?&#8221;</a> is a site sharing the stories of people that have seen one specific man in their dreams, all around the world.</p>
<p><span id="more-978"></span></p>
<p>Two such stories,</p>
<p><em>&#8220;The first time I had a dream about this man I was having a hard time at work. I had a dream about getting lost in a huge and deserted shopping mall. Suddenly this man appeared and I started running away from him. He chased after me for what seemed like an hour until I found myself against a wall in the kids&#8217; area in a supermarket. At this point he smiled at me and he showed me the way out towards the cash desks and I woke up. Ever since that night this man has appeared in all of my dreams and he always gives me directions to get out of the dream and wake up.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;I have never had homosexual relationships or even fantasies. But I dream about having sexing with this man all the time. I must admit he has a lot of imagination and he pleases me. Sometimes when I wake up I discover I have had a nocturnal emission.&#8221;</em></p>
<div id="attachment_979" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 478px"><a href="http://jritchie.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/dreamthisman.jpg" rel="lightbox[978]"><img class="size-full wp-image-979" title="dreamthisman" src="http://jritchie.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/dreamthisman.jpg" alt="the problem is that once you see this, now you are more likely to dream this man" width="468" height="355" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">the problem is that once you see this, now you are more likely to dream this man</p></div>
<p><strong>Update: </strong>Did some investigation<a href="http://whois.domaintools.com/thisman.org"> into this site </a>and discovered that it is registered to <a href="http://www.guerrigliamarketing.it/">a guerilla marketing company</a> based out of Italy. And while I&#8217;m disappointed by the fact that people aren&#8217;t dreaming about this man all over the world, I&#8217;m still awed by the brilliance of this marketing strategy.</p>
