I've always assumed that the "small hairy hermaphrodite" was either
some sort of hermaphroditic insect (not being an entomologist,
I have no idea which one, but various spiders and even mosquitoes
are hairy) or just an obligatory dig at Freud (as if to suggest
a dream that a Freudian would love to analyze, especially given
the occasion of the dream/sleep "struggle"). I don't quite
buy the "HH's hand" interpretation. Marilyn Edelstein, English,

I've always thought it was a tarantula too. I vote with Marilyn.
Besides, how your hand be a stranger?
