Does P ever cameo in your dreams?

I haven't had P visit me in my dreams (I have a very active and deeply
remembered dream life). I have, however, been visited by my two other
personal heroes, Frank Zappa (rarely), and Stanley Kubrick (frequently and
spectacularly). Won't bore y'all with the deets, but damn, those were some
great dreams for me! :-)
