Fleur Bishop and Glenys Wilson submitted this manuscript and a cassette tape in response to the 1989 call. I have lost contact with this songwriter.

Dreams and Therapy
Song Lyrics
1. The legacy of Sigmund Freud was ego and penis envy;
Jung gave meaning to unconscious dreams and analysed our frenzy;
Reich discovered energy whilst women moaned and groaned
In little boxes holding great doses of orgone.
Chorus:
We read the feminist Tarot and charge a modest fee;
I can’t locate the stars above, astrology’s not for me;
I use I Ching, the Book of Runes, my horoscope’s been done;
My dreams have been interpreted by crystals in the sun.
2. The Rorschach test is very old, and T. A. is passé
Gestalt is very popular but my cushions have all frayed
I’m into bioenergy, feet firmly on the ground;
I think I’ll try rebirthing next, therapeutically sound.
Chorus:
We read the feminist Tarot and charge a modest fee;
I can’t lo cate the stars above, astrology’s not for me;
I use I Ching, the Book of Runes, my horoscope’s been done;
My dreams have been interpreted by crystals in the sun.
3. My friends have their own therapists, I can’t afford the fee,
So I went to co-counselling, we argued constantly;
One night at the Pizza Hut, guess what we discovered?
Therapy’s irrelevant for bright-eyed and new lovers.
Chorus:
Now, we read the feminist Tarot and charge a modest fee;
We can’t locate the stars above, forget astrology;
We use I Ching, the Book of Runes, our horoscope’s been done;
Our dreams have been interpreted by crystals in the sun.
4. Here’s a little post script to our couple-dom;
At dawn we practise yoga, and chant a thousand Oms;
We’ve just been to a workshop on conflict resolution
But Rescue Remedy on the rocks is an easier solution.
Chorus:
Now, we read the feminist Tarot and charge a modest fee;
We can’t locate the stars above, forget astrology;
We use I Ching, the Book of Runes, our horoscope’s been done;
Our dreams have been interpreted by crystals in the sun.
By crystals in the sun!
