I dreamt my father was asked to demonstrate a part in a play he was in. He appeared about 35 years old. He agreed and said he would do something by Saroyan.

He began walking around very agitatedly, then looked up at the clouds and said, "It is all ingenuous, ingenuous."

I awoke not knowing what ingenuous meant. It means to be open, and candid, without guile as Nathaniel; innocently frank or free from reserve, to be freeborn or noble; generous, superior character, honorable.
