I kind of wonder whether or not anyone would contribute to an Internet database of dreams? User-contributed, this database would be searchable for recurrent themes, etc. And by dreams, I do not mean hopes for the future, wishes for such and such, I mean actual sleeping dreams. You would come on the site, input your dream, and it would somehow be searchable. Would there be any interest in such a project?

Self-immolations on the rise in Tibet (Aljazeera)
A Tibetan monk set himself on fire last week while shouting slogans calling for the Dalai Lama's return to Tibet during a religious ritual watched by hundreds, the advocacy group International Campaign for Tibet (ICT) reported last week.
[...]
The most recent immolation has become the tenth this year. Nine others have set themselves on fire since March in Sichuan's Aba prefecture [...].
At least five have died of their wounds, including Tenzin Wangmo, a 20-year-old nun, who set herself alight last month while reportedly calling out for the end of Chinese rule and the return of the exiled Dalai Lama to Tibet.
China, which has asserted its jurisdiction over Tibet since occupying the Himalayan region in the 1950s, claims that the immolations are "terrorism in disguise" propagated by the Dalai Lama and outside Tibetan independence groups.
