Thanks so much! Yes, the '70s are so intertwined with my childhood that it's hard to see them beyond a lens of nostalgia. Immediately, that phrase came to mind, so I thought of the most '70s thing I could.
About the interloper line, it's so odd how the brain works, isn't it? How I can be inside a dream where everything is absolutely impossible, and yet my brain won't let me forget the true reality of the situation. Like, when I see my Mom, I'm always glad to see her but then immediately remember that she's dead. Yet, I'm able to interact with her, nonetheless. I think it's a bit of protection, so that I don't wake up to a horrible reality after dreaming otherwise.
