I do smoke the old-fashioned Camel (after, I'm an old bloke, macho man and all!) once in a while, mostly when a have beers with me maties.<br /><br />I don't have dreams when I have beers, either. Or when I smoke Camel.

The standard one is a dream in which you are in a public place totally naked, and nobody notices, and then suddenly people do notice. I often dream that I am in a public place with nothing on but a pajama top. I finally realized that is how I sleep, and the reality is mixing with the dream in an odd way. In my dream, however, no one ever notices. Needless to say, this connects with my deep-seated sense that I am a fraud as a scholar and that someone will notice that and berate me for it. Revealed as having no clothes on, in effect. Those old folk tales were often spot-on psychodynamically.Robert Paul Wolffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11970360952872431856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-78150472844384534632015-03-18T09:59:37.386-04:002015-03-18T09:59:37.386-04:00Uncanny.

I was a zombie for 72 hours. How do you adapt to all these flights to and from France?Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250295324149056708noreply@blogger.com
