Dreams

It stinks when you have some dreams that are so realistic you can't tell if you were actually eating with some lady who had a son who ate everything on his plate, whatever it was, without a fuss.
I think the main reason I think this was a dream is:
1) I have not been out to eat with people I know in way too long. Not to mention out to eat with people I don't know.
2) I never did figure out HOW she got her toddler to do it. I suspect from the look she gave him as she told me how he was so obliging may explain something. It said 'You will eat that food and like it or you will get NO food'.
Hmm.  I wonder if dream logic works in the waking world. I wonder if I consider it child abuse / mistreatment to give it a try.
