The Homunculus Animal

I know this has nothing to do with humunculous, but I’ve tried and tried to remember the name of the animal and can’t. Anyhow… I was riding in Mel’s car in the neighborhood in the valley. We were looking for a restaurant that he wanted to eat at. There seemed to be a female presence in the car. We drove up next to a diner looking place and Mel said it was the place he was looking for. The female in the car objected but we stopped anyhow. I didn’t feel all that crazy about the place for some reason, but it was modern and fairly clean. We stopped and went in. It was quite busy but they agreed to put together a table for us. That gave Mel a big comfy chair and gave me a small chair with fold-out arms. I was carrying this little animal with me.

I had gotten the animal out of my mother’s back yard. It was hairy on its body and hairless on its head. The head was triangle shaped and reminded me of a badger. It two little antennae on the forehead above the eyes. It was a tame creature while I held it, and I really liked this little animal. When we sat down at the table, I was a little concerned about being comfortable in this chair with the animal, which was the size of a guinea pig. I looked down and noticed that one of the little antenna was missing. Curious… Mel wanted to see the animal so I held it out and placed it on the seat next to him. He didn’t reach out fast enough to take the animal and it quickly ran behind him and jumped onto the floor. Some patrons in the corner saw what was happening and tried to catch it under their table but weren’t able to. I realized it was going to travel along the wall until it got to the door jam separating the next room and walked over to intercept it. This is when I woke up.

Players: Mel, me, female presence
Events: Found animal in mom’s backyard, drove with Mel, went into restaurant, dropped animal
Symbols: antennea, restaurant, car, animal, losing animal
Thoughts: The name of the animal seemed like it was significant but I can’t remember the name of it.
