   Quick note:  when using "reply" functions in a newsgroup, it is possible to   
   "delete" the entire body of previous text that you are replying to (in Windows   
   environments, this is accomplished with ctrl-A then Delete, or possibly   
   backspace) -- this is a    
   conservative habit I've picked up, from back in the day when bytes were   
   precious with respect to storage space and transmission time.  Still, I like   
   to think of it as an "efficient" personal habit.   
      
   As to the previous thought on blending time in dreams, I would simply suggest   
   that you pay special attention (when you are recollecting your dreams) to the   
   way that they *end* -- are they ended cleanly (as most are) or do they   
   dissolve into random    
   elements that don't make much sense with the main theme?   
      
   An example would be a dream where you are brewing coffee with / for another   
   individual, but then something appears out of place (like an extra lid on a   
   coffee pot) followed by something else off topic (like a bug walking across a   
   counter top and you    
   leave the coffee pot behind to squish the bug.)   
      
   The unblending / fragmentation begins at the point where there's an extra lid   
   to a coffee pot that makes no sense.
