Glen, Frank, 

Certainly Glen's account is consistent with the facts.  Dreams are stories we 
tell ourselves as we awake that are cast backwards into time.   They are like 
the strange sounds the engine makes when you are trying to get it started on a 
cold morning.

You're so aggressively authoritarian. Sheesh. Do you ever admit you might be 
wrong? Or am I simply "rubbed the wrong way"?

You seem to minimize the importance of the *additional* measures I mention over 
and over again like para- and endocrine signalling, hormones, fMRI, etc.

I am *not* minimizing the content of the dreams. I'm claiming that the content 
of the *stories* about dreams are not the same as the content of the dreams. 
I'm further hypothesizing that there may be NO CONTENT to the dreams, only 
content to the stories told using the dreams as content.
