Two Apes and a Piece of Corn

Having a dream narrated by a singing British man imitating a child's voice as he lyrically narrated two orangutans fighting over a piece of corn is a peculiar dream indeed. And it is also the dream I had this morning after slapping the snooze button for 439th time. Typically I try to rope my topics in somehow with business, cleaning, or being green. But this one is all about two filthy apes fightin' over a piece of corn. It was surreal.
     What does it mean? Does it mean anything? What triggered it? I have no clue. I do have a pet rabbit, and we play toddler tunes for him before he goes to sleep, but I've never heard that song before. And unlike most songs we hear in dreams, I can still play this one over in my head. I don't know who said this, but tell me if you've ever heard this phrase: "Remembering a dream is like trying to grab sand- the harder you try, the more sand you lose." But this one I remember vividly, along with that damn song.
     I got nothin' for you about business. Really. I don't have an intelligent thing to say, tied in with a glib remark or a witty loop back into more...professional topics. This is just one human being describing his ape dream to another human being. So, I ask you. Does it mean anything? Is it a metaphor of some kind, an omen, a boon?
     Think about it.
