- I not only agree that outer events *can* play a role in dream content,
- *I'm* the person that mentioned the alarm clock incorporation in a

- In context, what I'm objecting to is Ken Easlon's claim that, for
- example, sleeping with your knees bent makes it more likely that you
- will dream of walking up stairs. I'm very dubious that your sleeping
- position plays that strong of a role in shaping the content of your
- dreams.
