"Recordings of the average person narrating their own dreams aloud asthey occured would be cause for most ears to preck up -- but in thecase of a hurly loon like Dion McGregor, they are a cause celebre, especially in this new expanded edition which includes material not on the original 50s release. In a similar dilemma of censorship and editing, I won't say anything else here, especially not about "Thought for the Day" or what McGregor implores us to do with that banana, that grapefruit, those strawberries, and that huckleberry pie. . . If you like the strange, the spoken (mumbled) word, and the more absurd reaches of human intelligence and language, then you probably need this. If not, send a copy to your mother-in-law."
The most insanely entertaining thing in recorded history

"Dion McGregor talked in his sleep like no one else - full-fledged stories, some more coherent than others, but all oddly captivating. Funnier and more disturbing than anything a conscious mind could come up with."

"This CD is incredible - a journey into the human mind - Dion McGregor is a pioneer and a Virgil through the delights and hells of the dream world. Thought-provoking and hilarious at the same time."
It's a pleasure, it's a pleasure (Yes!)

"I have to admit there are times while listening to this that I doubt the authenticity of the dream-speak. If it is a hoax, then Dion McGregor was the greatest poet of the 20th century. Through these dreams, he weaves the most startling and surreal imagery with great leaps of logic and wit. If it's genuine, then it's simply the most amazing and hilarious voyage into the human mind. This is possibly the greatest spoken word album ever. -- Classic."
