GW was probably 'inspired' by the Dune background...

PS. Can anyone either send me a URL or a zipped copy of the phantom pics,

When you dream there are no rules, people can fly, anything can happen.
Sometimes, there's a moment as you're waking, that you become aware of
the real world around you, but you're still dreaming.
You may think you can fly, but you better not try it...
