Five days ago, I went to the local library. While looking around, I went to see if there was anything new in the tape/DVD section. I happened to look down, and noticed a copy of that 1970’s movie “Breaking Away”.  
I remembered seeing it when it came ot-it was a pretty good flick.  
At any rate, the title stayed on my mind, so I looked it up on [IMDB.com](http://IMDB.com).  
Two nights later, I had a vivid dream-I dreamt that I had visited the campus of Indiana University (where some of thge movie took place).  
I remember seeing the main building-and the dream was so vivid that I looked up IU-and what I saw was exactly what was in my dream.  
Now, I have never visited IU (Bloomington, Indiana), so I don’t know how I had this dream.  
Are such dreams common?
