Sleep Talking

Hannah was running a high fever last night so we brought her in our room to monitor and comfort her. It turns out Hannah is quite garrulous in a feverish state. I had never heard her talk in her sleep before, but maybe that's because I am rarely within ear shot of her ramblings.
Her outbursts were logical in the beginning,
"Where are the goldfish?"

to which I responded logically,
"We'll get some in the morning."
(I assumed she was referring to the edible variety)

Then, she exclaimed,
"I want to go to Sunbeams!"
I looked at her closely to find she was in fact sleeping.

A little while later, I heard,
"Horses need dirt."
and that was the end. She was silent until morning.

After breakfast, Hannah did bring up the goldfish by announcing,
"There's a monster in the goldfish."
I concluded that she must have had a nightmare about goldfish. How frightening!

I still wonder about Sunbeams and the horses...
