Totally surreal nap-time dream

There were people gathering dinosaur bones... meaty, fresh ones...they put the bones in a tank of some solution to clean them, but it brought the dinosaurs back to life.

Hungry dinosaurs.

Naturally, I started looking to escape. Ran through a back yard & knocked on a glass patio door & told the Japanese family who lived there about the danger & how they should run, and kick their housecats out both to give them a chance to survive & to make their home less likely to get destroyed by dinos smelling prey. They believed me and started letting cats out- one long-haired black one had to be kicked in the butt.

I ran down the suburban street looking for a way out -the trees were huge, Tarzan-jungle style, and had big fish tanks in them. The beautiful salt-water fish kept swimming right through the glass and happily in the air. I remember thinking that was a flaw of some movies, that they put in so much distracting and beautiful CGI you forget the plot.

I then needed to look for a toilet (running from dinosaurs makes me nervous) and found one in a hospital/glass works gift shop. There were a bunch of 3 foot tall sitting up clear glass cats with colored swirls encased in the middle hanging from overhead strings. One customer kept swinging one of the glass cats into the wall. It didn't break, although it made a loud ringing noise each time it hit.

The PA came on, loud and annoyed, and one of the women lying on hospital beds wearing a pale blue green hospital gown and a brightly batiked shower cap jumped up, embarrassed, because she was late for her treatment/operation, and all the other patients laughed at her.

My watch fell apart, crystal, gears, etc. and the woman making glass doodads wanted the bits to use as a basis for a dolls' house lampshade. I had a new Russian watch on my wrist, so I didn't care.

I got out & back onto the sidewalk again and saw a beatup pickup truck with a big tank full of dinosaur bones in solution. (At this point, I think people had managed to kill the original reincarnated dinosaurs.) I told myself people were too stupid to live here and I had to get out of the area.

I found a big amusement park/zoo and figured there'd be someone there who'd give me a lift, so I started asking at the ticket counter. First I met a nurse from the hospital waiting room (she'd been on the telephone talking to someone, but denied it now). She believed me, and grabbed her white haired husband and ran off, insisting her subcompact couldn't hold more than 2 people.

Another woman agreed to take me, but her car was in the shop. She was from another country and had to exchange money before she could pay for the repair, but when she called the repair place they said the car wouldn't be ready until the next day.

The exhibit we were in line for was called 'The Running Man', apparently he was some freak of science that could run forever, at first getting weaker all the time, and then stronger. If you put money in a slot, he'd run around a track. I'm not sure, but I think he was Avon.

Anyway, I thought he might make a good ally, since I was having to run all the time myself, and I was trying to figure how to climb down the bank of rubble around the monorail in order to get into his enclosure to ask him, and Tara cat knocked over a bunch of stuff and woke me up.

On the bright side, the dinosaurs never ate me.
