       i tried a google search, so you dont have to
       look up the english nomenclature of dog sounds
       
       the search engine, disguised as an "answer engine"
       gives a summary of 12 noises, with their descriptions
       and their respective reference list. ad fontes. 
       
       barking             growling             howling
       whining             panting              purring
       groaning            growls               grunting
       preference center   sighing              whimpering
       
       i went to read more about "preference center"
       but first i had to verify me being human
       
       --- 
       
       both me and my partner woke up at 0:52
       from our dog barking/whining/wimpering at the door
       she visibly strained her ankle yesterday
       and her response to pain is sleeping
       rendering all other routines out of order
       
       my partner rose, i fell back asleep
       i was stuck at a prompt "at least one level down"
       as in, not in the prompt over which i have full control
       maybe on here, maybe some other multi user shell server
       ^C returned me the same prompt, ^D did too
       only difference being 
       ^C returned a non-zero result to the next prompt
       ^D returned zero
       exit, logout, nil
       i couldn't close the terminal emulator
       only interact with the prompt
       
       as in most other dreams where i find myself 
       in prolonged interaction with a computer
       there were nothing else there
       i couldn't look away
       as there wasn't anything to look away with
       there was only the eternal return of the prompt
       prompting me to do something
