  That quote is from William Dement. He wrote a bunch of books on the study of sleep. So act like you know, got it? Last night I had a dream where I was receiving Christmas cards from certain un-named parties. Within the context of the dream the cards were entirely surprising, given that I would have never expected one from said person or persons. Even though I was surprised, the card provided an odd sense of comfort. Aside from being a passing entry in a dream journal, I find myself wondering what it all means. So I'll be taking a trip to the ol' book store to consult the thickest "Dream Dictionary" or other volume of pop-psychology that I can find.
