Dear Ann Landers,
y husband started having lifelike dreams about six weeks ago. Arnold woke up exhausted, said he dreamed he had swum the English Channel with Johnny Weissmuller. He couldn't go to work until noon. A few weeks later he woke up in a cold sweat. He said he had dreamed he was a captain under General Custer and the Indians had given him a very rough time. Arnold had the shakes so bad at break-fast that I called the doctor. He sent over some tranquilizing pills. This morning my husband woke up in great pain. He had dreamed he broke his leg scuba-diving. He limped around all day and couldn't get his shoe on, so he didn't go to work. Ten times I said to him, "Look, Arnold, you know it was a dream, don't you? So if it didn't actually happen, how come your leg hurts?" He replied, "Your guess is as good as mine." Please tell me what to do.-Mrs. L.J.G.

ear Mrs. L.J.G.; Since your husband is so good at dream-ing, it's too bad he doesn't treat himself to something better than a fight with Indians or a broken leg. If Arnold's dreams persist he should talk to his physician. When fantasy and reality get so close together, help may be needed.
