Author's Note

Awhile back, a friend shared an unusual dream that he had on his lj. I jokingly asked if he had eaten something spicy before going to bed. He admitted that he had and asked if spicy foods were related to strange dreams, which brought to my mind that episode of “The Cosby Show” in which Cliff eats a hero sandwich before going to bed and winds up dreaming that he and all the men of the family are pregnant. 

He then suggested that that might make an interesting premise for a story: have the hobbits eat something spicy and see what sort of dreams they have. That plot bunny bit hard and this is the result.
