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. 218

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.

Tell us what you think?
