Get stories and no sex involved. Keep up the good work.

I like your use of the dream ideas.  I'm interested in the psyche of the unconscious and dreams are one way for our unconscious to communicate with the conscious.  Particularly if the same dream theme is repeated.  My repeated dream was to be wearing a black slip-dress while holding a drink and conversing with 4 or 5 people.  This was what impelled me to come out of the closet and get political about transgender phenomena. I'm comvinced females have analogous dreams about male roles, but aren't aware of their own unconscious and won't give reciprocity.  I think this is why so few of them are supportive of males who want to experience female roles.  They are embarrassed to acknowledge that men might also envy women just as women envy men.

RE: Bus Trip #1    When he was a teenager, long before he realized I was around, my alter ego, Bob, would pretend to sleep with his hands exposed trying for this very thing, to have his nails painted! It never did happen to him, but it DID happen to a kid who always slept through his world history class; two girls did it with the teacher's permission - base coat, three color coats, and a clear sealer and the kid never woke up till the bell rang.  He was out in the hall half way to his locker - with the rest of the class following him - before he noticed.  He was a good sport about it, but he never slept in class again!  Bob was so jealous of that kid :-)
PS - Bob did get perfume dabbed on him while pretending to sleep - Evening in Paris.

 I'm pretty sure these delightful vignettes appeared previously on Fictionmania.  They're a lot of fun, as I commmented back then, and have re-inspired me to jot down a few of my own youthful fantasies and half-dreams.  A similar sort of eperience, for me at least, is what I call a "Waking Dream" -- kind of a daydream one can initiate and set out with a plot or storyline, while controlling the events and outcome.

 We're glad to see you here at Crystal's, Kelley, and look forward to your  next offerings !  Thanks.

This very varied second offering reassures me that Kelley is an author whose work will be much read and much enjoyed.  We look forward to reading more of her work.
