Hi Mark,

Wow, you do have a good memory. My memory is so bad I don't even know if I should give my own questions a shot.

I think the dream question is extra hard. I doubt anyone will remember their first dream. Perhaps I should have asked, "What is the first dream you remember having?"

First memory: being on an airliner at the age of 1 and having a nosebleed. To be honest, I don't know whether this is a genuine memory, or whether I fabricated out of what I was told years afterwards.

First thought: as a toddler, I was walking with my parents in the parking lot of a hospital. I heard them mention the word "hospital", and I happened to be looking up at the clouds at that moment, so I deduced that the hospital must be in the clouds. (Budding logician that I was.)

Last thought before reading this post: don't worry to much about gossiping about other people. It may be petty, but hey, there are worse things.

First dream: the first dream I remember happened when I was a toddler. The stairs in my parents apartment at the time were those metal-framework kind with gaps between the steps, and I dreamt that I was falling through those gaps.

Wow Aaron! You too have an excellent memory. As it happens, I've asked questions that I have an inability to answer, myself. Yes, it seems that even as a toddler you were growing into a logician.

Sometimes I don't know if my memories are real or ones that were implanted into my head from photographs or family relations.
