Dreaming of Mr. Rex
Sometimes, this insomniac catches a lucky break, and actually falls asleep. Then I enter dream world, and if I'm lucky, I get to visit for a while. But most of the time, I only visit for a brief time, and then wake up with my head full of the dream I just had...and BOOM! My brain is off and running with the dream, and I lie awake the rest of the night thinking about said dream...
So, here's last nights play-by-play...
I had a dream that I lived in this Mayan-ey ruin type building, that had this wicked looking slide down the front of it, that was all white marble, and cut into the marble were these white face masks. The slide ended at the edge of a canyon that was at least a couple of miles wide, and on the other side of this canyon there were these pretty fields that had all this gorgeous green grass, and pretty trees that held fruit...it was just pretty. But I couldn't get to all that prettiness, because in the canyon, there was this big ol' T-Rex that guarded the fields and trees....
(Evidently I have a thing with T-Rex's.) Anyhoo, the whole purpose of the slide was to feed the T-Rex, so he wouldn't climb out of the canyon and eat me. So, every once in a while, I'd slide these big slabs of meat down the slide, and Mr. Rex would come lumbering out, nom-nom away, and then disappear again. For a little while, we were both content with this arrangement...and then one day, I decided I wanted to go to the pretty place. So, in true dreamlike fashion, I just threw some glitter in the air, and flew right on over the canyon, and landed on all that green grass. I was walking, barefoot, through the pretty place, picking which tree I wanted to sit under and read(because even in my dream, I carry a book with me), when out of no where the ground starts shaking, and here comes Mr. Rex, shattering my time of peace. So, I flee back to my Mayan ruin, and get mad.
Now I'm all angry, and I decide no stupid monster is going to keep me from my happy place. So, I devise a plan to lure the T-Rex into my domain, and trap him in the Mayan ruin. I lay out a bunch of meat, at the top of the slide. Mr. Rex smells it, and comes looking for it...it was actually quite funny, because here's this big dinosaur, with these itty bitty arms, climbing this wall out of the canyon, and then trying to make his way up the slippery slide...even in my dream I laughed at the poor guy! So, he gets to the top of the ruin, and starts eating the meat, and I sneak behind him and slide down that long, white, marble slide and float right over the canyon, and end up in the happy place.
Mr. Rex doesn't fare so well....after pigging out, he's slow and clumsy. He goes down the slide as well, backwards, and falls right down into that deep canyon. My monster buddy is vanquished, and I wander happily through the pretty place. The end...
Yeah, if only...I stay up the rest of the night, thinking about the dream, and trying to figure out what it means. I've got a pretty good idea too...
