Pretty sure I mispronounced Stephen "LaBerge" repeatedly. I believe the e-r part in LaBerge is voiced like the u-r in "fur" as opposed to the a-i in "hair". Sorry Stephen! In my defense...I got nothing.

“Dream is the personalized myth, myth the depersonalized dream; both myth and dream are symbolic in the same general way of the dynamic of the psyche. But in the dream the forms are quirked by the peculiar troubles of the dreamer, whereas in myth the problems and solutions sown are directly valid for all mankind.”
- Joseph Campbell, The Hero With a Thousand Faces
