jm notes:
"someone has recently mentioned one such suggestion--that TRP
uses dream material in his fiction may be found in "Nearer, My Couch, to
Thee:" It is precisely in such episodes of mental traveling that writers
are known to do good work, sometimes even their best, solving formal
problems, getting advice from Beyond, having hpnogogic adventures that with
luck can be recovered later on. Idle dreaming is often of the essence of
what we do. We sell our dreams. So real money actually proceeds from
Sloth....""
And this has a direct relation (later) to Kekule and others!
