A WORLD IN WHICH I CAN FLY, BEND SPACE AND TIME, AND MEET WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN DEAD FOR YEARS, DESERVES MORE CONSIDERATION THAN IT GETS. IF I WEIGH THE WAKING WORLD ON ONE SIDE OF THE SCALE AND THE DREAM WORLD ON THE OTHER, WHICH ONE IS MORE SUBSTANTIAL? DOESN'T A WORLD OF ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES SEEM MORE LIKELY TO CONTAIN THE WHOLE OF OUR LIVES THAN THE FRACTION OF THE WORLD THAT WE CALL REAL? ~ THOMAS Lloyd qualls, painted oxen
