I've seen some pretty weird things that turned out to be real. But the whole mom thing threw me for a loop.

[Now he just looks confused, though. He's been waiting for the dream to end, but apparently it's not ending.]

I called her Shay. She feels like my friend Shay when I hug her. You know, rock person. Rock... dog... rabbit? But same quality of 'well this isn't exactly cuddly, but they've got the spirit!'.

...Are you 100% sure this isn't a dream?
