VV(5) - Impersonations & Dreams

[jill]

but,

When you impersonate, or mock, or mimic, or act, you are letting your
sympathies out, about how you interpreted the subject. It is an airing or
open admission of what you see as the parts that add together and make up
the subject.

And when he dreams, he can awaken and tell no one, if it is that kind of
dream. He can keep it to yourself. A dream may convince the dreamer, but
s/he doesn't have to share it. And certainly, when she tries to relay it to
another, it comes out totally different, embellished. 

I admit, my 3 dimensional reading list has stacked upon itself quite a bit
during VV5. PS- anyone have cliffs notes to II Maccabees? Now I must find
some carlos castaneda or kenneth grant!
