I don't usually get real-time audio intrusion in my dreams. In fact, based on observations relating to my conscious perception of my anti-insomnia audio-streaming vis-a-vis the sleep-wake interface, my brain appears to shut down speech perception processing when I go under. But this morning when the NPR news came on at 6am and I hunkered down for an extra half-dozen winks, I had a vivid dream in which I was in London waiting with a crowd on s street corner for some sort of parade or event and a nearby loudspeaker was blaring the morning KQED traffic report and I was simultaneously thinking, "what a silly thing for them to be broadcasting here in London where nobody cares about the accident holding up traffic at the Caldicot" and "isn't nice that I don't have to pay attention to the traffic report because I'm here in London and don't have to get up to go to work."

Silly me.
