Scientist
Scientists, Mad scientist, Being a scientist
Scientists would rather ask a question than guess the answer. Meeting one in a dream can draw out your own clear-thinking side, the part that wants evidence before deciding. It may turn up while you're puzzling over a person or situation and feel the need to look at it more methodically. A famous scientist can stand for expert knowledge you wish you had on hand. The wild-haired mad scientist of old movies is another matter: an idea or ambition that has started to run ahead of good sense.

- A scientist explaining something you can't followYou're getting more information than you can take in. Ask for the short version; it's a fair request.
- Working in a team of scientistsYou do your best thinking with others to bounce ideas off. Find one person who enjoys a good question as much as you do.
