- My nightmares were most often announced by a wall with a door that was open. A shadow would come through the door from the other side of the wall and I knew that I had to wake up to avoid the nightmare. Sometimes I would dream that I had awakened when I had not and the nightmare would begin.
- I used to dream about walking on a railroad bridge which had no support between the cross ties and being fearful of falling through the gap. The bridge was similar to one outside of North, SC.
- I used to dream I was driving from Florence to Columbia and became lost in a series of highway exchanges similar to Atlanta. The roads always are familiar in the dream but I could not describe them when awake.
- I used to dream that I went to the ditch by the drive way in Cope where I would find the car that my cousin Johnny Young promised he would make for me in shop class if I let him have the wheels and axles off a toy truck of mine. I turned them over and he never delivered.
- I used to dream of watching a plane pass by and crash.
- For many years I dreamed of collecting from customers on my newspaper route.
- For many years I dreamed of suddenly recalling that I was enrolled in a class that I had never attended and now had to take an exam for. More recently this has changed to my entering a room and having to teach a class that I know nothing about.
