I agree with you that no one really dreams of moving to Sacramento for any reason, but a lot of people end up there. As a UC Davis graduate working for a software company in the Sacramento area (El Dorado Hills technically, about 40 minutes east of Sac), I'd have to say it does seem like a little version of Silicon Valley in some ways. Not Sacramento itself, to be more specific Folsom and El Dorado Hills, because there's a huge Intel campus in Folsom, and lots of little tech and software companies strewn around the whole area. I wish there were more software companies in Sacramento proper though, because when I moved from Sac to Folsom to reduce my commute stresses my cost of living doubled. Stupid sub-burbs.

NOOOOOOBody expects the Russian Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise... surprise and thermonuclear missiles. Our TWO weapons are surprise and thermonuclear missiles... and ruthless efficiency.

I think most intelligent people who have used psychedelic drugs would attest to this. There's definitely certain things hardwired into our brains, and certain drugs can open up those areas for exploration. LSD and psilocybin both induce a predisposition for religious and spiritual thoughts, as well as many of the patterns and images found in the earliest of art.

I've had many strange experiences like this in dreams. Sometimes I wonder if it isn't just that my subconscious is so perceptive it can practically predict the future through extrapolation, but sometimes there's some comfort in believing otherwise.

My fiance died in August, and in the following two or three weeks I had several dreams about her. In some she was just trying to show me she was happy and tried to make me feel better, but there was one that really made me question. I don't remember the exact date, but it was in the middle of the week after her funeral, between Aug 11 - 16th, she appeared in a dream to show me a meteor shower, which we sat and watched together in the dream, something we never got to do while she lived. The next day my brother told me about the Perseid meteor shower that had peaked the previous night, which I had been unaware of.
Now, I will admit that it's possible somehow that my subconscious did know of the meteor shower and invented this dream out of forgotten memories, but I like to think that she came back specifically so I wouldn't miss something beautiful that we always wanted to experience together.
