I was looking WSW the other night and thought it was Venus. When I looked at a sky chart, it looked like it was Uranus (not trying to be funny). Though Neptune was supposed the be in the same view of the sky, but I could not see it.

I am reminded of the thread a while back that said that Pluto had brightened. This, indicating that the we had entered the interstellar fluff. Could Uranus have brightened as well?

To add to the oddity, I had a dream a few nights ago, that MARS had become bright, all of a sudden, and became brighter than Venus. in my dream, there was flooding, lots of flooding. And animals everywhere. In particular, I saw Lions (female) or could have been mountain lions, but they were eating people.

For anyone who thinks it's venus, IT IS NOT.
