A Dodo-esque Dream

So, in my dream, it wasn't dodos what were genetically engineered as pets, it was humans. (And, no, not by dodos, but by other humans.) I had just arrived in town and had to pick up my pet human from a sort-of daycare. I had forgotten that I had one, and was surprised when I got there because these captive humans were just staring vacantly and hurriedly shuffling about and making "plock, plock" noises. Apparently they were all earlier genetic models of humans. Anyway, a daycare worker told me that I had to call my human out by name or she/he would not recognize me. Just then I remembered that my pet human was named Wink, so I called out "Wink" and one human broke from the pack and made a bee-line for me, plocking happily. She was shorter than me, though not by much, with long blonde hair and flowing rainbow-colored hippie clothing. I fed her cracker crumbs from my pocket, which was quite enough to satisfy her appetite, and then we went home and I woke up. I told this dream to my fiance, who does not read the Thursday Next books, and he seemed rather concerned.
