Dream on

I meant to write this down days ago! Anyone good at dream interpretations ?
The other night I had a pretty weird dream after reading `Uncle Wiggily in
Conneticut' before bed. I dreamed that JDS Salinger had decided to take in
a limited number of lucky people to instruct, give a speech to, and
otherwise discuss his secrets with. As dream logic would have it, I was one
of these people, who assembled excitedly in a small library in Cornish in
preparation for his oration, in front of a huge wall of books.
You'll all be very pleased to hear that Salinger is a very pleasant,
humorous man with a penchant for pink tee shirts with ads for brands of
vitamins on them (: ( I took this as my dreaming mind's interpretation of
Holden Vitamin Caulfield).
Unfortunately for us all I remember none of Salinger's secrets, although he
*did* tell them to us and I recall it all made some sort of wonderful sense
which left us feeling like the people in `Willy Wonka and the Chocolate
Factory' when they discovered it was the Oompa Loompas who ran the factory
(twee I know, but Willy Wonka is, when you think about it, a pretty good
analogy for Salinger) - i.e. well satisfied and enlightened.
For my next question - does anyone know self hypnosis, so I can try and
remember what those secrets were ???
