Of course this can be particularly a problem with hearing people who refuse to write things down to aid my comprehension.<br /><br />But sometimes if I find that real-life communication with a particular person goes easily and smoothly, if I then dream of that person at night, they are able to sign in my dream. Even if it is a person who actually does NOT sign at all! Sometimes communication may go smoothly for completely different reasons, such as a sign interpreter being available, but my subconscious mind seems to "translate" real life "easy communication" into "person can sign" in dream life.<br /><br />Not quite the same thing, but I suppose it can be considered another example of the weird tricks our brains like to play on us!Andrea S.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-66903231525133045252012-01-04T17:52:15.324-05:002012-01-04T17:52:15.324-05:00I loved this post, so strange that the one area yo...I loved this post, so strange that the one area your memory was incorrect was about the wheelchair, very, very interesting! I also love the way you speak of cute baby pictures (your own) as you don't always complement yourself as much as you should (in this readers opinion!)!I hope all (well ok, most!) of your memories are happy ones - with or without the wheelchairAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-49055102574884631692012-01-04T16:16:34.731-05:002012-01-04T16:16:34.731-05:00I loved this post.
