Has she talked to Dracula? If so what does he think about the current state of vampires being such wusses and all now-a-days? I mean they don’t even burst into flames and explode in sunlight like a good vampire anymore. They just sparkle like fake diamonds. ---

Leaving aside “ **Coryaisa’s** Dream Blog” hijack, what is it about celebrities that pushes them to the front of the line when it comes to contacting so-called psychics? Is there an afterlife bouncer that allows them to cut in in front of Aunt Ethel at the entrance of the Crystal Ballroom? ---

Is there an afterlife bouncer that allows them to cut in in front of Aunt Ethel at the entrance of the Crystal Ballroom? No, of course not. Your dreams are full of non-famous people who have passed. You just have no idea who they are; they’re the ‘extras’ in the movie of your unconscious. ---

You probably just don’t remember. Or maybe your unconscious is off-putting. ---
