judging from the list a while back, probably something like marsellus
wallace.

> 2) How did he pronounce "Stolze"?

i can't claim to have had any crazy psychic dream type antics. the weirdest
one i can remember involved being pushed off a roof by jamie oliver. but i
do have quite a few dreams that involve stuff that doesn't exist. y'know,
like albums and books and suchlike. i dream that i buy a new album by a band
i like, and listen to it, then wake up and remember the dream. i recall
listening to the album, sometimes really clearly, but i can't remember the
album itself.
i have a pet theory. i think that rather than my mind creating an entire
album's worth of songs during the dream, it just sort of displays something
like a "song" icon at me. the same sort of thing that presumably pops up in
the back of my brain when i actually listen to a song that causes me to
recognise it as such. during the dream i react to the "icon" the same way i
would to the actual thing.
all this boils down to, i could imagine having a dream where i met greg
stolze, and his name being said to me, but i wouldn't necessarily be any the
wiser when awake as to how to pronounce his name. because in the dream, it
wouldn't really have been pronounced. i'd just have "heard" a stolze icon.
it also reminds me of something i read about an experiment in which people
were hypnotised and told they could see a square circle. when brought out of
hypnosis they were asked to draw it. funnily enough, they couldn't. but they
could still "see" it in their minds.
