Incredible dream!

I am absolutely incapable of reading in my dreams.  In fact, when I'm
drifting off to sleep, I can't even visualize consciously the written
word.  It's weird, too, considering that most of my life is tied up in
literature and writing.  *laughs*  Maybe that's the reason!  My brain
wants a break!
