I'd call it "stream of consciousness in the extreme."  It seems to have very little regard for the poor reader.

May I humbly suggest that the "correct" sentence might be something like: He dreamed of walking ina flowering wood where birds flew before them (him and the child), and the sky was aching blue, but he .. In other words, the phrase "he and the child" is in apposition to "them." (Of course, "correct" English calls for "him," but anything is allowed in poetry or music.) *** Mr. Moderator: Would you kindly count my humble contribution in the little blue "replies" box? Thank you.

Hi, Anon.  In case you may be receptive to a reply from an unmod, the problem you address is one of a great host currently under consideration.  The webmaster's assistants have acknowledged it, but the problem of slow posting is so dire right now that everything else is sitting on back burners.

Please join the rest of us in taking courage.

Avangi: Thank you so much for your concern.  My concern is that when my comments are posted, they are usually not counted in the little blue "replies" box.  For example, the little blue "replies" box says this thread has 11 replies.  This week, several of my posts have been posted, but the little blue "replies" box says "O replies." If it says O, then the questioner doesn't know that someone answered him/her.  Thank you again for any help you can give me.  I notice that you try to help many of the people who ask for advice.
