(Jane was sure “death of a dog” referred to the last dental appointment she had had previous to May 5,1965. This would be 3 years ago; Jane said she recalled this vividly because our dog, Mischa, died within two days or so of that long-ago appointment. [...]

[...] If you think of a dog for example, quite unconsciously you form the image of a dog, which you do then perceive.
