Thought Crime

I keep a regular chronicle of my dreams. I keep a mini-cassette next to the bed and soon after I wake up, record my fading memories of the past night's dreams. This morning I detailed to the speak-write, my dream in which I was involved in the attempted assassination of the president. This begs the Orwellian questions; have I just engaged in thought crime? Is it illegal to write this? Will the level of thought control ever extend to include my dreams? Am I retarded for publishing this in a public blog? If I become a nonperson, will anyone notice? Will I confess?

Of course, everyone confesses.
