Wow, you know good stuff is happening when nightmares (over which a person seems to have no control) suddenly start changing just like that with you in control. Yeah, I think it has something to do with you telling your story and processing the issues in the company of like-minded people who've not only been there, but appreciate you fillingin the blanks on stuff they didn't know. And you have such a funny, unique style of telling your story. When you finish filling in the years and it goes up as a permanent article, I think it'd be great if it went up in your present style without getting polished too much.
As a kid I had a recurring nightmare that a big hairy monster was chasing me and it terrified me. Someone told me, next time I was dreaming, to just turn around and tell the monster I wasn't scared of it, so the next night the dream came back and I started running and suddenly remembered. I turned around and told the monster I wasn't scared of it and the nightmare never returned.
