Now, Mr.Hobbs walked through the tulips. There, he met Mrs.Perrywinkle. She had bright ribbons on her head, while she danced with a yellow-polka-dotted purple pickle. This delighted him and, together, they beamed with a smile ten miles wide. Unfortunately, this resulted in the creation of rainbow clouds, which rolled across the skies the rest of their lives.
And, on a more serious note,
If you had the ability to enter other people's dreams, would you? What would you do there? Would you let that person know?
Would I want to be able to enter other people?s dreams? Dreams can be scary. I don?t think I?d want to be in a nightmare dreamscape, that?s for sure!
If I was able to enter other people?s dreams, I might if I could be of some kind of help. Maybe they are troubled by something in their lives and it comes out in their dreams. Well, if I could I?d want to help resolve those issues. Maybe I?d want to pass on advice to those who need it. Maybe I?d want to give reassurances to those who are really worried.
On the other hand, I have a feeling I?d be tempted to ?get even? with people by invading their dreams. I think it would have been especially tempting if I?d had this ability as a teenager. There are too many people who have hurt me and others that I love and I think I could cause a lot of damage trying to get back.
I?m glad I don?t have that power. There is too much responsibility. Not only would I have to be very careful of my motives, I?d also have to watch ?help-everyone-syndrome?. I guess I?d feel something like a doctor is supposed to feel ? wanting to help everyone but it doesn?t always work that way. You have to be able to deal with the failures and the oversights. That?s way too much responsibility for one who?s had too much already!
