Inner Speech - An Interesting Read

The piece linked below is different yet perhaps still relevant to our class.  If you have internal conversations on a regular basis, then our in class conversations might have offered a model for that.  The second half of the piece, on hearing voices, is not so relevant but it is interesting to read about.  I wonder though, when we are dreaming if we hear voices that way and it is entirely normal.

You also might enjoy reading the original story The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, by James Thurber, which to my knowledge is the first piece to characterize daydreaming.  The piece was written in 1939, yet the story still holds up.
