Tough time trying to sleep last night; if my dreams were anymore uneasy I would have awoke to find myself transformed into a gigantic insect (or "monstrous vermin," depending on the translation).

Example:

My mom introduces me to a cute piglet which, evidently, she's adopted as a pet.

Shortly thereafter I find the piglet in the kitchen feeding on the severed head of a full-grown pig -- which is somehow still alive, listing from side to side and making strange shapes with its mouth.

I pretend to ignore it and ask my mom the piglet's name.

"Ham," she says.

Wow. The loss of my pies rather pales in comparison. :o{

Fascinating dream. It's like Winnie-the-Pooh on acid with a cannibalistic piglet. "Ham" (in addition to being a pun on the part of your mother!) is also the name of one of Noah's sons (the others being Shem and Japheth). Not sure how relevant THAT is either. Freud and, especially, Jung taught that the dreamer himself or herself is the dream's best interpreter. Who do YOU think it means, Mac?

I think it was a Meat Anxiety Dream. I've had 'em before.
