Confused by a dream

[mtbc]

This morning as I lay in bed I was briefly concerned by that I could recall the name of only two of my five children. I am not a great parent but I usually do better than that. Fortunately it turns out that I was remembering the names of the children that I actually have and forgetful only of the additional ones whom I had left behind in awakening from a dream.

Side-note: I am unsure of where name ought to be plural in the above.
