I dreamt that I had become very close to a number of people concerned with an overhaul of international intelligence services. There were three or four of them, and they were perfectly pleasant people. I was not aware of what I was doing at first, but I eventually understood that I was helping them with a new model of intelligence gathering and processing that was immense in scope and surprisingly penetrating in depth. Spying as such was history, let alone characters like James Bond. The new model was based on the experiences of best universities in the world. Oxford and Cambridge in Europe were of great interest in this regard. And so were Harvard and MIT in the States, which explained the investigators’ interest in my thoughts about the new model.

Again, it took me a while to figure out what I got myself into, but I kept talking to the investigators so as to better understand their intentions. As well as the extent to which the new model was already in place. At any rate, spies were gone from the scene. The international intelligence services relied on activities such as teaching, research, and consulting at the best universities around the globe. The World Wide Web was at the foundations of the new model, which resembled an open university in organization. The emphasis was on intelligence, which was understood as the scarcest resources anywhere on the planet. Everything else was of secondary interest.

When I woke up, it was morning already. It was not yet eight in the morning, but I could not go back to asleep again. My dream was uppermost on my mind, and I got up to write it down. Unfortunately, all the detail was gone by then. I could not remember anything of any real importance about the overhaul of intelligence services. What I immediately realized, though, was that my writings were pretty useful in the new model. The first thing that came to my mind in this connection was my new book about Strasbourg, which was available on one of my websites. It contains a lot of detail about the golf scam in Motovun, Istria, and Croatia as a whole. Many names are there, too. Unwittingly, I am already a part of the new model of international intelligence. The only question is who is at its helm. And why.
