I dreamt last night that I was in a university lecture about the history and symbolism of the mortar–board hat. Everyone taking the course of lectures was supposed to wear a mortar–board to each lecture. Some didn’t have one, including me, but the lecturer was laid–back about it and said we could get one for next time. I rarely dream and if that’s the sort of crap I come up with, I can see why I don’t usually bother.
