The standard example of the implying act for one who wants to marry: motherhood or intimacy need not imply marriage, but a wedding ring does; so in the drowsy state one feels an imaginary ring on the third finger of the left hand, touches it, turns it, pulls it over the knuckle, until it is so real that on opening the eyes one is surprised it is not there.
