    Hi. I usuallt have extremely vivid dreams and can recall most of them, although there isnt always alot of continuity in them.
    Anyway. Last night, a large section of dream(s) centered around a small, midnight blue colored hippopotamus.
    I was with a group of people in a kitchen of someones house, unfamiliar in life, but a friends house in the dream.
    A large brown beetle-type bug scurried across the floor and up a wall. I am scared of bugs, especially spiders.
    Initially I was afraid of this one. BUT I went near it anyway. As I came close, it transformed, I cant recall how, into a small hippo, about this size of a puppy.
    Other parts of the dream are hazy....I recall wanting to keep it as a pet, it was sweet-tempered, playful, smart and everyone loved it. I can recall walking around Target trying to find a carrier for it, like you would have for a puppy.
    My dad told me I shouldnt keep it, but give it away, that hippos are wild animals and should be cared for in zoos, by qualified people.
    I recall being upset by this, b/c I loved the hippo as a pet.
    I often recall very very strong emotions in my dreams....sometimes I wake up with less recollection of the actual dream than the feelings i had in it.
    I recall waking up a little sad, b/c I missed the little hippo.

    Does anyone have any words of wisdom on this?
    Thanks!
