One of the books I enjoyed recently is The Place You Love Is Gone, so much so that I keep up with the author's blog. She recently posted thoughts on watching the The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T, and concluded with "Was it all just a dream?"
"Just a dream" is what is often said to dispel the charge of a nightmare.
"Just a dream" is a dismissing statement.
"Just a dream" is a narrowing statement.
What if "Just a dream" was replaced with some (concise) variant of "Oh, a dream. It scared the bejeebers out of me. Wonder what is going on in my life that made This dream occur Now."
