traum is dream in german.
trauma is trauma
trauma/traumen/droom/dream
is it like cartoon trauma where you wake up
seeing stars

sometimes i wish i could speak german. at the german bakery today a lady came up to me asking something in german. i said sorry, for a second i thought i could answer you, but she was looking for her friend who sort of looked like me. being like a spy with my german name and car and bag of rolls.
