Now 930 WCB, yes, AM and FM, New York. Oh, man, just trying to free you from the four walls of today for a half hour. The Museum section, sweetie.
No, but it's all right. Here. Well, none of you know, too. No, you haven't. Thanks. Someone's page? No, thanks. Buddy, I had the strangest dream last night. Oh? Anybody we know? Don't be funny. If you stop reading for a minute, I'll tell you about it.
Okay. I was scared. Oh, why didn't you wake me up? Why? Wouldn't have done any good. I mean, it was a nightmare, I guess. You know, the kind where you see yourself running away from something, or from somebody?
Too much beer. I'm gonna ask you. It's very important. Well, darling. Dolly. Do you notice how sometimes in a dream everything is happening to you and then suddenly you find yourself standing there watching it, watching yourself and you say to yourself, it's a dream and I don't have to be frightened because in a minute I'll wake up.
I guess so. Something like that I guess. Last night, a lot of other nights, Freddy. It's been different. It starts the same way, like any other dream, I suppose, but... then I'm running away. Somebody I don't know followed me, and then...
there were... two of us. Both me. Running. Uh, coffee's still hot. Freddy? So, honey, I don't know anything about dreams. If you're asking me what I think it means, I don't know. Oh, and I'd say that last bottle of beer.
Coffee. Freddie? Nothing. How do you explain a dream? You don't. You can't. At first it frightened you and then the morning passes its phase and by lunch time, it's forgotten.
