Think, Dream, Play: Sleeping with one eye open
THE ONLY WAY MY CAT COULD KILL ME would be by suffocation. And she probably won’t do that. I mean, I am a sound sleeper and all, but still. She only weighs seven pounds. But she is a determined little bugger. Once, when she was just two years old, she had had it with me. […]

Send Me Your Dreams: Do it on time or don’t do it
ACCOUNTS FROM ANCIENT CULTURES include stressful, recurring dreams of being unprepared for work or for a test at school. Even then, people from all stations in life put off preparing for what they knew they had to do! Today’s dreamer has his own version of such a dream — with a twist. It may be […]
Think, Dream, Play: Music soothes the old brain
RECENTLY, I FOUND MYSELF IN A ROOM WITH A SAXOPHONE. Apparently, I arrived in the midst one of those “common but mysterious short-term memory failures, (where) people find themselves in a room, without remembering why they ended up there.” Precisely.
