Woke up at 8:30 in the AM.

Mig was going to call so we could go to IHOP. So I had some weird little dreams related to the noises coming from outside intermingled with me waking up and seeing what time it is (it is nice having my phone nearby for that function... I have to have the alarm clock far away since I am good at turning it off in my sleep so I can't read what time it is from where I sleep).

Anyway he called around 10:30 in the AM and i was mostly asleep, so he was going to go to Dunkin Donuts and I was going to go to sleep.

So I did, and had some Epic dream.

I don't really remember the beginning. There are a couple of things that are coming back to me now... I can remember going fishing or something, but not how the fishing turned into the rest. Or maybe the fishing was from one of the earlier dreams... I can't really remember.

Anyway, the part that I really remember was we were at some park or something, like a Disney place. And there was some thing where they had some robotic dinosaurs. So what they do is have the Tyranosaurus hunt someone in the audience around the park.

So, since this was my dream, I got to be the person it chased. I remember having a mouse (computer) there, or something. Anyway, I like jumped in the pit, and the T. Rex came out of wherever they keep him. I ran into this little place he didn't see, and could remember thinking "If I weren't dreaming, I'd be able to run better", and then I jumped out of the pit. I guess I figured he wouldn't come out. I think i was wrong or something, cause the next thing I did was run really fast away from the pit place.

I remember running around and seeing a map of the place in my head. I know the map is of some place I've been to, but right now I can't exactly remember which. It might have been the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, which would make sense cause they had some robotic dinosaurs there when I was little. Anyway, there was some running.

So I guess I ran into some people who were going to go to a wedding soon or something. They were getting a tour of the place, like at a zoo. But the animals were robotic and stuff, but look more computer animated. They were pretty cool, but they had the animals like scaring people and stuff. Like the hippo was like going to attack this one lady, and then they cited when some Floridian hippo did this. I can't remember if it was in 1995 or 1997, though.

Anyway, I had decided that a bathroom would be a good place to go to, so I could maybe change my smell. I figured I couldn't completely, so the T. Rex was going to get me in the end. So I found a bathroom, but it was not a very good one and it was falling apart or something so I started running somewhere else.

I remember then like, being my friend or something, and his sister and mom being there, and still trying to like run away from the dinosaur. There were like all these old staircases like in warehouses and stuff. And pretty much the rest of the running away consisted of me going through these stairs and stuff.

Then I remember being back at the main place, and the thing being over or something, but they wanted to do some more stuff with me getting chased by dinosaurs. Which I was like, "no". So I started throwing stuff at everyone (I can't remember what). Anyway, they didn't get more dinosaurs chasing after me.

I don't remember if there was a wedding or not, but there was like a reception, which I didn't go to. And so I was walking home and there was a car which sounded like the Jetsons' car (it was a white, old, station wagon).

And then I woke up or something.

So this probably has some meaning. I don't know what it means, but it isn't the first dream I've had where I was chased by dinosaurs. At least in this one I was supposed to run, and not drive. That one was scary.
