I've always disliked audio tours. Too slow. Too boring. But make them into an app on a smartphone, with pictures, video, audio, hyperlinks and content control (i.e. control of how much you want to find out), and suddenly going round a museum or gallery might be fun!
Life, the universe and everything, from the perspective of numerous iterations of adreama throughout life.

Adreama
This blog is a hotchpotch of my thoughts, opinions, reviews, analysis of idioms, and links to articles that I have come across on my travels.
I would like to write a comprehensive philosophy or metareligion, but I haven't got the motivation. Likewise, I would like to write a book analysing sayings, idioms, phrases, quotes etc.
