[QUOTE] \*Originally posted by White Lightning \* **I’d argue that a brain would be material while the concept of a ‘mind’ would not be.** So would I, but since they’re too closely related in **YLT** ’s book (and this is his show), I think we can rule that one out. He’s also ruled out death and monkeys, which leaves us with… (OK, I’ll pull the trigger.) 1. Dream. ---

You know, I bet monkeys have dreams. ---

The ones that can type probably do. I’ve heard before that dogs can dream. Do you think they dream about monkeys? ---

They probably dream about sex. And pooing. ---

Ok, I’m here, and I see you’ve all made a decision on the 20th question. **Hu Gnows** asked: 20) _Dream._ **Hugs** , I suppose you’re trying to say “It is a dream?” And the answer to that question would be yes, it is in fact a dream. Nice going, everyone. I could tell my dog had dreams because she would sometimes wimper and stuff while she slept, hense a nightmare, hense a dream. For now, I’ll do one more 20 Questions game after this. I’ll then take a break for a couple months and start it up again. I’m getting the feeling that you guys are getting kind of bored of this. Plus, I’m running out of ideas. I’ll be back though, don’t ye worry. I would say more, but I have to leave. I may comment more later. ---

Reading over the entire post, I don’t think there’s much more to say. Just congratulations on getting it, perhaps. ---

Good one, **Yorba Linda**!! This was fun, and not boring at all, even though I couldn’t guess the answer. 🙂 ---

What about “name”? Question #3 involved a name, and they had to consider their answer to it. Whether it’s a bodily function – that’s a stumper, but you could say that everybody has a name. WHether it could exist without humans is also debatable, but he may be thinking that dogs have unique ways of identifying one another. Hmm…#11 and the hint about existing without humans make this difficult. I think “name” is on the right track, but not quite it. ---

Great game, **YLT** , and I’m glad you’re gonna do another. I was hoping we’d get another chance. I mean, really, ‘snot’??? What was I thinking??? :rolleyes: All kudos to **peepthis** for coming up with the right answer! (And **Blue** , I still believe he’s gonna use ‘monkey’ eventually.) 😉 ---

Now that I know what the answer, I’m just sad nobody thought to ask “Is it one of the Endless?” Nice job, **YLT**! I look forward to the next one. ---

That still would have left the question of Death vs Dream open, though, **king of spain**. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/20-questions-7-0/103324.md?page=3)
