For about three nights straight, I pushed myself to dream about MindMaps to activate the book I got on it. I thought success would probably involve some sort of MindMap drawn out.

Instead, and my mind repeated this dream twice with variations, Woopi Goldberg said to me while driving, "The reason you have to state your name in court is because it would take you too long to explain your relationship to yourself." The first time, it just sort of shocked me, and I was listening to a cassette in my car. The second time, she was in the back seat talking to me.

When I woke up, I understood the power of the mind-map in defining a relationship of an object to itself, including the individual in question.
