SUDDENLY, I thought of Doc Van Schendel. He was an old Dutchman, from Amsterdam, and a few years before I’d done him a favor. We’d met here and there around town several times, and had a few bottles of beer together. He called himself a psychiatrist, and in his office one time, I noticed some books on dreams, on psychology, and stuff like that. Me, I don’t know a thing about that dope, but it struck me as a good idea to see the Doc.

He was in, with several books on the table, and he was writing something down on a sheet of paper. He leaned back and took off his glasses.

“Hallo, hallo, mein Freund! Sit yourself down and talk mit an oldt man!” he said.

“Listen, Doc, I want to ask you a question. Here’s the lay.” Then I went ahead and told him the whole story. He didn’t say much, just leaned back with his fingertips together, nodding his head from time to time. Finally, when I’d finished, he leaned toward me.

“Interesting, very, very interesting! You see, it iss the subconscious at work! He boxes a lot, this young man. He sees these men fight. All the time, he iss asking, ‘How would I fight him?’ Then the subconscious takes what it knows of the fighter, and what it knows of boxing, undt solves the problem!”

He shrugged.

“Some man t’ink of gomplicated mathematical problem. They go to sleep, undt wake up mit the answer! It iss the subconscious! The subconscious mindt, always at vork vile ve sleep!”
