I don’t know if this is the right topic, because I think it might be related to other topics, but I wanted to know how many people would catch on. I wanted to know if they thought the same thing that I thought when I first read this article.
Note that this was pulled from Gerd Gigerenzer’s Gut Feelings released 2007.
“…In the Bavarian town where my grandfather lived, people often had difficulties in sleeping and woke up from nightmares, which made them dread falling asleep again.

In the night, while you slept, she would sit on your chest so heavily that you could barely breathe…” (pp. 223-4)
Remind you of anything?
