Comments:
This story leaves some doubt as to whether the events depicted are a dream or an actual time travel experience. Since Superboy met Lois Lane while in the future, the events should be considered as real rather than a dream.

Synopsis:
Superboy decides to travel back in time to see how and when Metropolis was founded. Due to an eclipse, his time traveling causes him to arrive in his own future instead of the past. In Metropolis, he meets his future self, Superman. He then helps the Man of Steel protect his secret identity from Lois Lane. Superboy finds himself unable to return to his own time, until he and Superman collide head on. The impact sends Superboy back to his own time period. When he returns home he wonders if the entire experience was only a dream.
