Also in the dream, I lost my cell phone. My sister Mugsy offered me five replacements, which all rang at once. She didn't like their tones and threw them in the moat.

I was very upset with younger daughter. She herself was not in the dream, but her pets were. She had left several of them behind for me to take care of. One of them was a very ugly and rude and not cute groundhog. It was a very unpleasant animal, kind of a spider-monkey-rat groundhog, and my daughter had dressed it in overalls.  I had to keep recapturing it so that it would not bite the Atreides children.

As it turns out, last night I slept downstairs in the TV room in our house, where younger daughter, who is a way for the weekend, had left Beans, her pet white rabbit, in his cage.  Although I had a pet rabbit when I was a child, I can't say I'm really fond of beans. And I don't like to see him in this part of the house because my wife is extremely allergic and his dander could provoke an asthma attack. When I awoke I put Bean in Younger Daughter's room, which is in a remote part of the house. You actually have to go outside then back inside to get there.

I've never met Welsh Girl by the way, although I have met Atreides in actual meat space. I do hope I will still be invited to the coronation, despite the somewhat negative representation of the pair in my dreaming unconsciousness.

I think maybe the part about the five children might have come from an article I read in Vanity Fair yesterday about Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt and all their various kids.
