parking infraction - baby parakeets

dream:

my wife and i were handcuffed together for a parking infraction. apparently someone got upset with the judge so we had to be tossed in the jail together. we were getting out of the jail but had to go back in front of the judge to get the handcuffs removed. there was much consternation during the walk to the courthouse.

later we are at home, but it's a different home, a small cottage deep in the woods somewhere. i look inside the parakeet cage and see tiny, fully formed babies at the bottom. i'm trying to ask my wife if she bought a new parakeet and stuck it in the cage without telling me. the babies are all the size of a thumbnail. she admits she saw this cute bird at the store and brought it home. i can't believe how cute they are and it occurs to me that it's probably a dream.

i wake up in some big bed with white sheets and am sad there are no baby parakeets. i go back into the living room and there are the baby parakeets! on the bottom of the cage are several large eggs in various pastel colors. the parakeets are also pastel colors, baby blue and yellow and purple. they have great big eyes and heads compared to their tiny bodies. they are so small one of them gets through the bars of the cage. it's the purple one. he's flitting around and i can't catch him. he flies from one side of the room to the kitchen and back. i almost get him a couple times. she tells me not to worry about him and let him fly around.

then i woke up (for real)
