I’m quite interested in dreams and have been writing down my dreams since 1992; it’s about 1400 dreams now, and I’ve met ghosts, dwarfs, giants, vampires, all kinds of animals, some speaking, a hundred different persons and once I had sex with a mermaid and another time I played domino with Norman Mailer, but no, I have yet to meet the man in the OP. ---

Perhaps someone is doing a psychological study? I didn’t take time to read all of the info. The sketch has classic features of Fetal Alchohol Syndrome! Wide-spaced eyes, low nose bridge, absence of philtrum, thin upper lip. ---

For some reason I find that picture very disturbing. Like, I opened that page and my skin crawled and something in my reptile brain was screaming SOMETHING IS AMISS HERE. Is there some sort of visual trick they’re using to make the image disturbing? Why am I having that reaction, and does anyone else? ---

> [@Koxinga](#): > > [I’m skeptical of the whole thing. The “dream” part, I mean.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=433116) I’d say **Hentor the Barbarian** nailed it in post 21, and that **hotflungwok** had the edge in the debate on page 2. So, fie on your skepticism! On with the speculation 😛 ---

Is there some sort of visual trick they’re using to make the image disturbing? Why am I having that reaction, and does anyone else? I don’t get such an extreme reaction, but I too find the image creepy. I wouldn’t want to see this face in a dark hallway, or in a mirror. I guess I find it alternately creepy and funny/pathetic. ---
