A bit off topic, but sometimes in my dreams (which I occasionally remember bits of for a while after waking) I encounter animals which don’t exist in the real world. I have no idea why my dreaming brain creates them. Sometimes they can talk too. Usually in the dream I find that a bit surprising, but not all that much… oh, yes, a few animals _can_ talk, that’s right….
