Have YOU seen this man in your dreams?
I find this to be, if legit, very disturbing.
Quote:
From January 2006 until today, at least 2000 people have claimed they have seen this man in their dreams, in many cities all over the world: Los Angeles, Berlin, Sao Paulo, Tehran, Beijing, Rome, Barcelona, Stockholm, Paris, New Dehli, Moskow etc.
At the moment there is no ascertained relation or common trait among the people that have dreamed of seeing this man. Moreover, no living man has ever been recognized as resembling the man of the portrait by the people who have seen this man in their dreams.

He kinda looks like David Berkowitz. Creepy.

No, but I wonder how many people only dreamed about him after clicking that link. My guess would be about 2,000.

They say he helps, assists and/or comforts the dreamer. The pics on that page are creepy but apparently its a positive encounter. I never remember my dreams, so I have no idea if I've ever seen him.

This article says the url traces back to "Italian sociologist and marketing expert, Andrea Natella, who’s made a career out of studying hoaxes".

I would think that the features are generic enough and dream memories are fuzzy enough that most people would see that and say yes, they've seen him in their dreams. Kind of like the Psycho 101 exercise where you take a personality test and are given results and have to write/talk about how accurate they are. After people attest to their amazing accuracy, you discover that they were randomly distributed and are generic descriptions that most people will relate to in some way.

maybe because one of the only distinguishing features is his megabrow.
there are some things missing, too.
the sketch has a very wide mouth, but no smile lines.
there's no neck. just about all of the sketch artists' composites i've ever seen on the news has a neck.
viral marketing can be creepy AND effective.
