The Waking Dream

from Soporific · host Dr Tench Media

There is a state between sleeping and waking that has no good name. The place where thoughts stop being logical and start being something else — connected not by reason but by feeling. That is where we are going tonight. Edgar Allan Poe. The border between sleeping and waking. Enjoying Soporific?

However, it is hoped that at least one from the range of topics here presented will lull the busy mind to a state of sweet sleep.Introduction by Cori Samuel Tasker Jevons: The Real Story by May Sinclair (1863 - 1946) LibriVox In this May Sinclair wartime masterpiece, dashing newsman Walter Furnival is an absurdly good catch: handsome, successful, athletic, intelligent, an upstanding epitome of manhood and rectitude. Tasker Jevons is a puny, preposterous, impossible-looking, bombastic sports writer, without one single redeeming social grace. Imagine the jealous mortification of Furny when his enchanting young typist and love interest Viola Thesiger chooses the clownish Jevons as a lover, seeing in him a remarkable inner beauty not evident to anyone but her and (as he grudgingly but magnanimously admits) the long-suffering and devoted Furnival. But despite the title, the central character of this extraordinary novel is not the redoubtable Jevons but the rebellious feminist Viola, determined against all odds not only to revolt against every enslaving conformity of her upbringing, but also to burn all her boats behind her, ruthlessly leaving herself no possibility of a return to the soporific decorum of her clo Insomnia Collection Vol. 007 Various Soporific dullness is in the ear of the listener, and what's tedium incarnate to one person will be another person's passion and delight.
