aaah.........
The first time I took the Mensa test I scored a 125, the second time I took it I scored a 136. I consider myself of average intelligence.
However, I have some really vivid dreams with such detail and color that I am sometimes shocked. My colors are beautiful, and I can see details like lines in a face, or pores, hair lines, wrinkles, the sparkle in the eyes and veins.
I don't think it has to do with the I.Q. I think it has to do with your artistic or creative ability.
Anyone else dream with such details, and what does it mean?

Your mouth is the same length as both your eyes together and your nose is the same width as one eye.

Your eyes don't grow any more after birth.
