A Dream That You’re Not In

Is it possible to dream a dream that you’re not in?

You think you did, last night: you lacked the slightest

sense not only that you were but that you knew its two

participants: a yellowish small naked fellow who appeared

a touch Neanderthal leaned lightly back against a large

blue short-haired woman who, although she’d gently

placed her hands upon the man’s round shoulders, didn’t

seem involved with him, or anything. What is one to bring

to dreams like that? Freud thought them fat and full of wile.

There were no voids for Freud in dreams: their purpose

was to mean. They were his elements of style, the brick 

and mortar of his truths. But this one was a snooze.
