Thanks for providing us with all the gory details of your hypnogogic
episode which, to say the very least, was bizarre while raising the
interesting possibility that a lot of us may be reading TRP in entirely the
wrong way. The 3D part of your episode reminded me of those "magic eye"
things that were a fad several years ago and that appeared in some weird
places like six-packs of Zima beer. Based on your experience, for my next
M&D reading, I'm going to drink a few bottles of Zima and cross my eyes for
as long as I can while reading so that I can study the message beyond the
page that you described so eloquently in your post. Incidentally, I hope
you don't have narcolepsy. And, please be careful on any further excursions
into M&D's 3D universe, though don't worry too much since, if you happen to
fall into the text and can't get out and wind up in other people's copies
of M&D, rest assured (please get some sleep) we'll come and get you.

Keith
