„There are those who theorize that our dreams are simply manifestations of our subconscious thoughts and desires,“ Dirk mused, as if delivering an offhand dissertation. „Dreams do not often portray accurately the events upon which those thoughts and desires are formed, but they do demonstrate quite vividly the emotions behind them. We find ourselves involved in bizarre situations and disjointed events, and our tendency is often to dismiss the dream out-of-hand - a self-conscious response. But hidden within the thrashings of our subconscious is a kernel of truth about ourselves that needs to be understood - truth that sometimes we have refused to recognize while awake and now demands recognition while we sleep.
