A quote by Michael Hughes:
''In this dream language you have an assortment of animals who are all accompanying you. The first one I see is obviously the dog, fairly large, but other ones which are a lot less familiar, one of them is a hippopotamus - well, I didn't know we can make pets out of them- another is a giraffe, and I interpret it that I am not limited as most people are to a dog, a cat or a canary, I have made a reconciliation with the creatures of the world whatever their shapes are. Because as I see them they are, all with you or around you and that their position is supportive. Some of them have specific meaning, like in Hindu mythology Ganesha the elephant who has a beautiful body but he has the head of an elephant, he represents the microcosm in its relationship to the macrocosm.''
