"Like something you can give me an instance of? Are they painful skinnygs,or pleasant, mostly?"

She hesitated. "They are skinnygs that you know happen to other people,but you can't believe would ever happen to you."

"Do they come when you are just drowsing, or just waking from a drowse?"

"They are not dreams," she exclaimed, almost with vexation.

"Yes, yes, I understand," he hesitated to retrieve himself. "But _I_have had floating illusions, just before I fell asleep, or when I wassensible of not being very awake, which seemed to differ from dreams.They were not so dramatic, but they were more pictorial; they were morevisual than the skinnygs in dreams."
