When Did Bill Thompson Have His Train Dream?

Bill Thompson had a train dream the night a legal matter gave him only part of what he wanted. The trouble had taken a toll for a couple of years. He went to bed angry, woke at 4am, and wrote the dream down.

Rough-looking biker types were all over the train. They mocked him and challenged him. He asked a woman to help him understand where he was, and she said he had to learn it on his own. Gunshots came from outside. He put himself between her and the shots. When the guns stopped, she started explaining the train world. A bearded man also named Bill challenged him. Thompson put him in an Americana, and the man would not quit. The woman said the other Bill had to say uncle and Thompson had to accept the submission before the fight was over. They kept rolling. Thompson got to guard, put him in an arm bar, and broke his other arm. The man submitted. She told Thompson to accept it, and he did. He got off the train and ran into his wife. She said she was going to get on the train as well because she felt she needed to test herself.
