School kids have a nat- ural reluctance to revealing their inner selves, especially to teachers and parents, but after we got warmed up, I was wish- ing I'd had a tape recorder. It was fascinating. It removed barriers. The whole thing was sparked by a short passage of poet Dy- lan Thomas's recollections of childhood, in which life is as jumbled and unreal as a dream. It ends, "The memories of childhood have no_ order, and no end." Thomas dreamed, Later in life, that he could fly, as a child. I've had this dream many times, and I waken from it feeling wonderful, but then a terrible sadness comes over me as I realize it was just a dream. Some of the kids have had the same dream. It takes dif- ferent forms. Some flap their arms until they gain altitude, then just sort of glide. Mine is always the same. I take a long, running broad-jump, and by sheer will power, keep my feet from touching down again. I never get more than 10 inches off the ground, but I'm flying, swiftly and easily and surely, swooping around obstacles and absolutely free of the surly earth. One boy admitted a recur- rent dream in which he is at bat in the World Series, bases loaded, a home-run needed to win the game. Seventy thou- sand people are screaming, "Come on, Dan! You can do it." Then comes the sick reali- zation that the mob is_ his mother, shaking him and say- ing, "Come on, Dan! Come on, Dan! Time to get up for school." Same chap confessed to a dream that would fascinate Siggy Freud. He was buying a new pair of pants. Tried them on, took them off for the tai- loring, came out and found his old pants gone. He walked all the way home with no pants, and 'wasn't the least bit embar- rassed. A girl confessed that she of- ten dreams that she is the cen- tre of things, a big Broadway star just about to launch into the greatest musical in history, _ FEBRUARY 8 1968 with every eye on her. She is the girl least likely to be a great star, though a delightful person who will make an excel- lent nurse, a grand wife and mother. Another girl has nightmares about big dogs who are always going to eat her. Still another dreams of cowboys and _ In- dians, and she's always the cowboy. And by golly, she looks like a cowboy. She's long-legged and laconic, a Grade 12 Gary Cooper who needs only a hand-rooled Bull Durham smoke to complete the image. Another boy dreams that he has had a sword run through him, but doesn't feel a thing. From there we get into the business of whether or not you can feel and smell and hear in dreams, whether they're in col- or. Then we get into the theory that if you have a nightmare, and actually hit bottom at the end of that fall; or that the monster catches up with you, you'll die because your heart will stop. This kid came up to me to- lay and said, "Sir, last night I dreamt I fell six storeys and I hit bottom, and I didn't die." "Did: you bounce?," I en- quired, "or did you uncon- sciously spread your wings and land gently?" "Nope, I landed hard, but I just lay there, allsort of spread out, but not hurting and not dead. I was trying to jump into a puddle and I missed it." "Glad you're still with us," I countered, "but you've ruined one of our theories." He was delighted. He was the one who has the sword run through him about once a week, and doesn't feel a thing. Another teacher's theory squelched. Dreams are great; I'm all for them. Even nightmares are good for you. You can wake up with pounding heart, in a cold sweat, scared out of your liv- ing wits, but what can compare with that relief, that glorious comfort as The Thing gradual- ly fades, and you realize 'that you are alive and it is warm and safe and snug in your own bed. The only thing that is boring about dreams is when other people try to describe theirs.
