But something strange happens when I bite into it: I don’t get guts and meat at all, but a horrible mouthful of springs and screws, mixed with straw and some kind of nasty stuffing. I don’t know how to explain this part of the dream, but it’s really driving me crazy. Even when I bite into my bowl of Alpo, I’m afraid that it won’t be food at all, but some trick from the humans. Please help me, Doc, that rabbit has really gotten inside of my head…”
