Frogs, OK, and even the slug--but the giant peacock?
S and I in bed in a small room whose door opens to a flat desert outside. Bright outside, dark inside. I look from bed through the open door and see an enormous bright green bullfrog hopping by. It splits into two bullfrogs who bounce? against each other and then become one again. Then a fantastical slug scoots by. It is about a yard long, colored in various shades of blue, with snake-like blue scales on its top. It moves not like a normal slug, or even a snake, but in a steady effortless glide across the desert floor, like a little train engine. Then an enormous blue peacock prances into the bedroom. It is the size of an emu, with azure tail feathers and a short fat beak. It pokes around in the room, slightly threatening but more of an annoyance than a serious threat. It pecks at my back (I'm now lying on my stomach in bed) where I'm not covered by the blanket.
