So. I did not dream the whole thing.

Sometimes, in the morning, as I'm drifting awake, I turn on the radio to listen to NPR and get another voice or two inside my head. Sometimes, that helps me wake up completely. Sometimes, that helps me drift back into dreams.

Yesterday morning, I felt pretty certain that I'd heard a piece on doodling, and how your teachers were wrong: it's notdistracting, but helps you focus.

But then, as I was going to bed, last night, I began to wonder if I'd actually heard the report, or only dreamt I was listening to the radio. I was leaning toward the latter, since: a) I hadn't set my radio alarm until 10:30 (a good hour and a half after such a report would've been over), b) I had absolutely no memory of turning on the radio before the alarm went off, and c) the "report" had "accompanying video" to illustrate its points. But if it were a dream, it would certainly have gone into the record books as one of my most vivid and detailed, ever.

Then, as I was having my coffee, today, I remembered that NPR.org has a search function, where you can pull up recent reports that you've heard, so I thought I'd try it, even though I was more than half certain the search would come up empty.

But:
