brain tricks and trials
Ever think so hard in a dream that you wake yourself up? In today’s Afternoon Nap Theatre, I had to list all the men’s names and nicknames I could think of that could also be reasonably common words: Will, Ward, Grant, Frank, Rod, Rob, Bob, Bud, Mike, Bill, Dale, Mark, John, Drew, Nick, Pat, Rich, Tony, Randy, Don, Martin, Victor, Gene… For some dream reason this was Very Important. After a while the list got so long, and I was trying so hard to remember it all, that I woke right up. I’m still muttering things like “Chuck!” or “Derrick!” or “Art!” from time to time.
