[Magdalen] Dream On.

[James Oppenheimer-Crawford]

I have dreams about not being able to find my Army unit, not being able to
find my uniform, and just not being able to find where I belong in the base
where I am (usually a very dark place with no detail).

I recently had a dream where I was having the usual trouble and some doctor
was talking to me and suddenly became aware that I am 69 years old, and
arranged for my host unit to take me immediately to my home of record and
make like I had never even been there. I think we are headed toward a form
of resolution here.

Dreams can be disconcerting at the time, but very funny when examined in
the light of wakefulness, can't they?
