Sometimes they get so intense that I'm not sure if they're worth it. And then I wean off them for awhile and it goes fine and then after awhile it doesn't go fine and I go back on them and the dreams come again. <br />Medication. <br />As to the record player- I am not discounting the convenience and wonder of iTunes on the phone but there is something so much more connecting about vinyl and needles which trace the grooves of the records. At least, I think so.
