I didn't hear much from Crazy Horse during this period.
Plus there are all the exciting personality disorders associated with dream deprivation: irritability, mood swings, mumbling, an attractive zombie-like stupor. Do you have any idea what it's like to have no dreams? Let me tell you - it's like sleeping on cold, wet concrete every night. Them good ol' boys had fished out my dream hole! I could imagine them using big, over-sized Lakota dream catchers, and really enjoying themselves.įor me, though, it was a kind of living death. And sure enough, a couple nights later, I realized all my dreams were gone. So I guess I was about as vulnerable to dream theft as anyone could possibly be. In fact, the idea that a person somehow owned their dreams was an utterly alien concept to my people.
They just left them lying wherever they dropped during the night. The people in my family didn't worry much about guarding their dreams either. I DON'T KNOW about you, but I grew up in a home where it wasn't considered too important to excel in the Dream World.
