| Craziest dream ever. Papa had this hokey idea to go camp in a big field in front of some government building somewhere where they had dug a big square hole in the ground and put a lion in there. The hole wasn't covered, but they had dug the hole deep enough that the lion couldn't get out. But just barely. So I got agitated at him for wanting to go camp out there with an uncontained lion. He said it was fine, I didn't believe him. So I went with him for some reason. We got to the field in front of the building, and of course the first thing we did was check out the lion. There he was in the big square pit, that was clearly not big enough for the lion to be happy at all. He was in there, trying to jump out, pissed off that he was stuck in a hole and people were gawking at him. He would get up to the edge, but couldn't get the extra umph to get out of the hole. Scared me to death, Papa and his buddies just thought it was so funny. So I walked around trying to find a place for them to pitch their tent close to under a tree so if the lion got out, they could climb the tree real quick and try to get away from the lion. Papa wasn't concerned with the lion getting out. So time passes and it quicks to they had covered the hole with a big metal thing, but left a small opening just about the size around as the lion in the middle of the top. I checked out the lion situation, and the animal looked even angrier. He was trying to peep out the hole, trying to jump out, looking like he wanted to eat everyone. The crowd had gotten a little bigger, milling around the field and the government workers in the building were outside eating lunch and such... just a general public hub bub around. Then all of a sudden the lion got so mad he got an extra push of something, and jumped out of the hole right at me! I ran as fast as I could to the nearest tree, and managed to get up far enough for the lion not to reach me by jumping. But then he started climbing the tree with his huge claws. Someone told me to start shaking the tree branches, to scare it or try to make it fall out of the tree. So I shook the tree like madness until I couldn't shake it anymore. The lion finally fell out, and acting like it wasn't concerned with anyone else, decided to climb a different tree across the field. I got down out of the tree very cautiously, and ran to the building to hide from the lion. As I was running to the building, a cheetah came from who knows were and climbed the tree by the one the lion was in. I got inside, in a panic because there was a lion on the loose... and people didn't see that it was a threat. Like they didn't know the lion could very well just maul the junk out of them. So I asked someone where a phonebook was so I could call the zoo to let them know a lion and a cheetah were on the loose, to send people to come get them. I found the number and tried to call, but some lady with a very thick accent answered and couldn't understand what I was trying to tell her. So I gave up and decided to wait out the situaiton on the balcony of the building that was upstairs that connected to a bridge that went over the river on the opposite side of the building than the field. There was a crowd gathered on both sides, sitting at tables and chairs waiting for something. Then comes John Mayer walking across the bridge singing "Waiting on the World to Change." I thought that was weird... he stopped just out of view where there was apparently a stage where he was performing. Someone had a microphone way down the line of chairs from me, apparently the thing to do was sing a line of the song and pass the microphone. The microphone got to me, I sang my line of the song, passed the mic, and then I woke up. Bizarre. |
