Sorry to post this to the net. But I could not get my mail to
go to Ellen Perlman with the addresses I had from the header.
(Besides, it's not like we've had a lot of traffic in this newsgroup
lately :-)

Ellen,
Thank you for your mail on dreams--it helped.
I will look in the library for the book you mentioned. Have found it
on some book order forms. That was just the sort of information I
was looking for. There are so many dream books out there--but so
many are just lists of meanings (none of which are applicable, since
it is so individual) or, as you mention, Freudian. I read a little
Freud when young, and found him pretty much of a misogynist and often
downright silly!
I have started to write down my dreams. My only problem now is saying
to myself "Oh, I don't want to write it now--I'll remember it later."
I never do, of course. Or I don't want to maybe bother my husband.
(Which is no excuse--he sleeps like a log, and isn't bothered by light.)
It is fun to go back and read them after a month, when I have forgotten
them totally. One thing I can see that I should do is to also--perhaps
the next day--write down external factors that might have contributed
to the dream. For instance, I had one about work. When I go back
to read it, it might be nice to know if I was having a particularly
bad week at the time. The dream sure sounds like it! But if I wasn't,
then maybe there are some general negative feelings there.
Anyway, thanks for the help. Take care.
