I Dreamt I Was... is an unusual CD-ROM that allows children to see a day in the life of different professions by entering into the dreams of different children.
Children can choose to see dreams about a fireman, a policeman, a doctor, a lifeguard, an artist, a pilot or an astronaut. It is a shame that some of the scenarios were not put together with a little more thought for their intended audience. It would be nice to think that a Police Officer's first reaction wouldn't be to think that they will need their gun. Also, is it really appropriate for young children to pass syringes to a doctor as she is stitching someone's arm who has just exclaimed that they think they are going to die?
The dream about the artist and the astronaut are more appropriate and children can colour in a picture and learn the names of the planets while watching these dreams. --Amanda York
