Juma snuggled up in bed with us at 7:30 this morning and announced, "I had a dream!" He then went into a convoluted explanation about "a really deep ocean and a map and we were in Germany and the map showed where New Haven is and Mom you were there! And you jumped into the ocean. It was really deep."
"Really?" I said, "because I had a dream about scuba diving in the ocean. Did I scuba in your dream?"
"No. Just jumped in." He continued, "There was an ocean in my dream. Mom, do you remember my dream?"
"No," I told him, "it was your dream."
"But you were in it!" he exclaimed.
I tried to explain about dreams and memories, and how it's only inside your own head, but he kept insisting, "You were in it. It was real. I'm right. I'm right this time!"
