Robert de Boer's dream challenge

Robert de Boer can see the future in his dreams. He has sent us e-mail offering to challenge us for our $10,000 award.

We are currently evaluating his claims to see if he can actually see the future in his dreams. If Robert can make some successful predictions based on his dreams, we will set up a test for him. He may well be the first to claim our $10,000 Award!
