I was watching a show about fishing in the ocean, they emptied the net and an octopus came out, ran across deck and jumped off the side of the boat, the first time I realized they had such a personality... love the commercial where the octopus is in a car filled with water and he reaches over and opens the door and runs to the ocean, it is so true about them.

They are highly intelligent. It's entirely probable she IS dreaming.
