Creatures
July 15, 2006
I dream it is the morning after a festival, the house is in disarray, and servants are cleaning up. I see leftover cookies and candy all around, and I announce that I would appreciate it if people would consume this stuff quickly or dispose of it because I will eat it all. Then, Daniel comes upstairs and apparently, the eggs have hatched. He has white, translucent baby chicks that hover above his hands. Another creature appears;a cross between a sheep and a dog, with a spindly body and wispy, curly white hair. At first, this creature is terrified, but when I speak sweetly to it, it hovers towards me and I hold it in my arms. It has a tentacle which massages the back of my head. Finally, an adjunct to this creature, a snow white slug, comes out of a pouch in the sheep-like creature. The creatures give me a feeling of peace.

I dream I go to my home in France, and I notice the bottoms of my pants and my socks are ripped. My brother notices the same thing about his pants and socks. When we investigate, we discover a futuristic pants-ripping animal called a moug hiding under the table. When it realizes we’re on to it, the moug tries to escape, but I have him trapped between my head and the doorjamb. I try to squeeze the life out of him before he chews up my ear.

I dream my mother has brought home a white dove in a cage, from which it tries to escape. We lock the dove up in its own room for the evening, but we can tell the dove is looking for an angle. Furthermore, I have a tiny frog with a similar discipline problem, and I have to keep changing its location to keep it off balance. It lives in the same cage as the dove, only it has its own subcage — a tiny pill box. The frog, who is obviously connected, assures me that I will rue the day I took him in.
