The Brighter Side ByDamon Runyon

dreams-is to forget them as quickly as possible,
especially the one In which somebody is always
chasing U.s. We have run hundreds and hundreds
of miles in our dreams, getting away from
pursuers
We have done lot of fighting in our dreams,
too, and we are invariably the one that is getting
belabored. We must be a bad matchmaker after
we get asleep, because we cannot now recall ever
having come out on top in dream battle. OF
course, we have never won many fights awake,
either.
Some incident is always popping up on US in
our waking hours that seems mighty familiar in
all its details as if it might have happened to
us BEFORE yet we know very well it never did
happen, so we say to ourself. well, you may have
once dreamed this very thing.
Scientists Too N0sey
VXTE UNDERSTAND this can also be explained
w by science as the subconsciouS something,
though we admit we have never inquired into the
matter. We do not see what license science has
to explain our dreams, and we will bet that
scientists themselves dream bad dreams that
they cannot figure out.
AS kid back in our old home town Of Pueblo,
we had typhoid fever, and our dreams were
peopled with strange, grotesque shapes, and it Is
a curious thing that in later life any time these
shapes appeared again in our dreams it was a
dead sure sign that we were going to be i'll. but
we now consider that handy sort of dream
because it sends us tearing to the doctor, without
waiting for the illness to take hold.
Then there was the time when we were in the
Army and dreamed that a big. ugly sergeant
was kicking our pants for falling asleep on sentry
duty, and when we woke up. sure enough there
was the sergeant kicking US right where we
dreamed only much harder.

see one of those psych-somethingS, or at least
look up policy dream book and see what
numbers we should play.
Good Dreams Forgotten
WE HAVE had bad dreams since infancy. OF
w course we have pleasant dreams, too but
those are the ones we never remember 1t makes
us madder than anything to be awakened in the
middle Of q swell dream before we can find out
the finish. On the other hand, it is a wonderful
thing to wake up out Of a bad dream and realize
that we are not really about to hit the pavement
after a drop off height, or to be hung, or
otherwise mistreated.
We understand that scientists have quite
logical explanations for dreams, but we never
bothered to find out anything about them, for
fear it would develop that our dreams prove that
we are abnormal in some way, and possibly off
our nut.
So what we do about dreams that is, bad
