When I was in the halfway state between waking and dreaming I got this image of the character Muriel from Courage the Cowardly dog snuggling into some couch cushions.. she said something nonsensical like "are they cushiony because they're cushions"...or... something weird.

The other night I had a similar character experience, but my boyfriend was in bed with me and I was conscious of his presence so I said out lout "that Horton like character" when inside my head I was seeing a furry elephant like creature with too many legs sniffing around the kitchen floor for pieces of food that had dropped.
