This seems a reasonably good answer. Now, see, I have had dreams in the past where cartoon has merged with me, and Whilst I know both aspects, real and cartoon, were there, I couldn't remember anything about the dreams, but I knew they happened. I had always thought it was one of those things you couldn't really explain, but you did a pretty good job of it
Me personally, I wouldn't kiss a pony, but I could certainly imagine being in a relationship just between the lines of 'friend-zone' and 'dating' Although not so turning into a pony, my brain overthinks to the extreme, as as such I'd end up extremely confused without opposable thumbs, or the application of magic, if I was a Unicorn.
Hmm, pillowy. That's kind of a nice way to describe it
