To Dismiss a Dream: Boston Legal

Often-institutionalized Law Partner Edwin Poole, while neglecting to wear pants: "He came to me in a dream last night and told me to try his case."

Being "sent by" a dream doesn't carry a lot of credibility, does it?

In fact, in many circles, taking dreams with any degree of seriousness is indicative of soft-headedness, or even instability.

It is a pity that dreams are dismissed like this.

Being compelled by dreams is one thing, but looking at dreams with curiosity and interest is another.

And as for dreams as opportunities to "think different" -
by changing points of view,
looking at the world through the "scary monster's" eyes,
inhabiting "the box" and being outside it at the same time, and
pulling together ideas that, on the surface, don't connect -

well, that would be a very, very sad thing to dismiss.
