Last night, in the midst of typically inchoate and unrememberable dreams, I came up with two crossword clues that I somehow did remember:
1. _ _ _ _ Tsar did not place this atop Kremlin tower
2. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Hag dispensing shaved-ice treat?
See the first comment for answers, if necessary.
It is probably worth mentioning that habitually the last thing I do before bed is fill in several online crossword puzzles. As far as I know, this is the first time I created clues while asleep.
1. star
2. snocrone*

*The target of the pun is actually sno-cone, but crossword puzzles usually dispense with punctuation niceties like hyphens, apostrophes, diacritical marks, etc., so I think I’m on safe ground here.
For as long as they’re selling it, here’s a Snoopy Sno-Cone machine at Target.
