This dream was that Harvard SDS and the Harvard workers--buildings and grounds, the kitchen people, and others--got together and formed a worker-student alliance.

Though Coleridge claimed that Kubla Khan sprang to his mind full-fledged from a dream -and is a fragment only because a tradesman interrupted him while he was writing it down-Miss Hayter is unimpressed. She admits that the euphonious fragment was the product of what the poet called "a sleep of the external senses."
