Unraveled Jun 25, 2006	You can have daydreams, right? So it can't really be dreams.
rrn0rrnrrnY Sep 09, 2006	Actually there is a riddle much like this where the answer was dreams and many of the comments suggested it should have been stars. Definitely think stars works and dreams don't, so liked this one better. Good job!
