The sun and moon were on the floor in my room, so that I could not walk about, and so I went to heaven where all the lights were up, and there were many colours.
Source & context
Brief infant-school quotation; oral versus written route not assigned to this case. Whole printed example, not an unedited child-written dream log. Kimmins compiled anonymous historical child reports. The youngest reports were mostly individually told to head mistresses, with a few seven-year-old written accounts; this source does not identify the recording route for each example. Kimmins admits memory gaps, filling in, omissions, fusion with waking material and secondary elaboration. Ages and historical school descriptions are source labels, not modern diagnoses or proof of authenticity. The compiler acknowledges secondary elaboration and fusion with waking material; this is not an independently authenticated untouched child-written log.
