Dreaming While Black #2

Tamron Hall on the Today Show tells of waking up at 4 a.m. to discover a cast iron pot on the stove atop full heat. “I could have burned down the house,” she says. She had a house guest, but they weren’t there; turns out Tamron was sleepwalking. She calls her mother, and it turns out sleepwalking runs in the family.
