   the holidays of the year with the enthusiasm of someone reading grain futures

   Hey Vince.  Sadly, this dream post failed to make it to my attention back on   
   the date posted, or at least I have zero recollection of having seen it prior   
   to just a few moments ago.   
      
   At age 9, your subconscious (dream) mind was alerting you to the phony   
   secularism and materialism surrounding capitalistic concepts surrounding   
   love-based memories (such as Valentine's Day, supposedly for lovers in   
   general; Easter, for CERTAIN about God'   
   s Love; and Christmas, Love Incarnate.)   
      
   I mean, WHAT a DREAM for a 9-year old!! Wow!!!   
      
   > I just think this would be common fodder for nightmares. I mean, look at   
   that dream-scene in the movie 'City of Lost Children'. Brrr...   
      
   Never saw it, but I think your dream was FAR more relevant √
