Because of a reaction to my second shingles vaccine, I spent much of last week in bed, tired beyond belief. (I'm fine. My reaction consisted of a sore arm and more than usual sleepiness -- nothing more.) I'm rather glad that my rerst did ot include the type of dreams experienced by Winsor McCay's Rarebit Fiend, the protagonist of McCay's comic strip that had begun in 1904. The comic strip spawned several early films:
