Owl photo borrowed from u/GL00ZEY.

I dreamed that I was showing off my (actual) new stainless steel baking pan to someone and talking about how much I like it, and I noted as a big positive that it was "full owl sized." This was clearly demonstrated by the actual live great horned owl that was lying in the pan just chilling and looking very calm with the situation. In my dream understanding, this did not indicate that the pan was used to bake owls; it was some sort of standard measure of pan size and I was happy that it was the proper full owl size.

This particular owl photo really captures how totally unbothered the owl was.

I had a dream where I was working at a neighborhood hardware store, and quickly learned that the hardware store had a reputation for its delicious and cheap soup. The soup was not sold in jars or cans or anything, it was sold out of a soup warmer behind the counter. Some people would get it in a bowl and eat it in the store. Others would get it put into a thermos, but many many people got the soup. They came for an air filter or a plumbing fitting or some light bulbs but they all left with soup.

During the course of the dream I learned that the famous soup was just campbell's condensed vegetable soup that was thinned with coconut milk instead of water and had a spoon of garam masala added. I wanted to shout it to the world, but found out I had signed a soup specific NDA so I couldn't. I seethed knowing we were charging what felt like a king's ransom for pennies worth of ingredients and no real labor. Upon awakening I felt a compulsion to share the secret of the hardware store soup with the world, and now I have.
