Mind readings
Antonia told me today she'd dreamt I was laid off.
My wife often tells me she has dreams in which I run off, cheat on her, or do something otherwise distressing.
I suspect women read men's minds. Unconsciously. They do it not because they want to invade our privacy, but because we have such a difficult time hiding anything, except from ourselves.
The mind readers, appalled, horrified, bored by what they find, then block it out. Some of it occasionally comes back distorted during the night as shadows of thoughts seen during the day are integrated into whatever dreams create.
