I had thought of that, too. I left out some details of the dead bird dream. One, that my beloved cat was lying dead along with the birds and that my husband was also lying on the floor. I tried to wake him but he was as though dead. I frantically called "the operator" on the telephone and while I was doing so, my husband sat up with a big grin on his face. He was just joking! And that was the end of that dream. Another betrayal.
