which they pour over my head. Should I change therapists or switch to

Your nightmares sound a lot more interesting than mine! Which nightmare
program do you use? Is it Y2K compliant? For a good upgrade, start doubling
on the bassoon so you can contemplate what grows in a bocal. Several months
ago, someone (Richard Bush?) wrote an unforgettable anecdote (on the
alt.music.saxophone NG?) about inspecting students' bocals for a classroom
demonstration. (Hey, Richard, was that you? Encore!) I had (and passed up)
a chance to buy a Bundy bassoon recently. I think something died in that
bocal. Pee-yew!
