Jurassic Dream · 1:15pm Nov 12th, 2020
I had a dream I went to Jurassic Park. It went about as well as you’d expect. First there was “ooh, ahh”, then later there was running and screaming. Lots and lots of it.
A few key points I remember:
-The park looked like it had been built and rendered in Jurassic World: Evolution.
-At one point after things had gone south me and a few other tourists stranded in the park came across a small herd of Iguanodon, colored gray and white, grazing on a grassy hill near one of the island’s lakes. Somebody said they remembered them from Disney’s “Dinosaur”, and somebody else joked that maybe they’d cloned Aladar. Then we saw a Giganotosaurus barreling towards us and the herd from the forest across the lake and we all ran for it.
-Another survivor and I being chased by a Spinosaurus up an incline that led to an electric fence. We escaped the Spino, but then the other guy got ambushed and killed by…a pit bull.
-Finding another survivor, a high-school-age girl by the looks of it, at a feeding compound. It was a two story building that stored and dispensed hay and other feed for the herbivores, and one side had a ladder going up to a railed catwalk around halfway up its height. On the wall next to the catwalk was a control panel. The girl was sitting on the catwalk, and I remember finding her because I could hear her crying from a ways off. There was a tracking screen on the control panel that’d been configured to track humans as well, and we saw that everyone was making their way to the Visitor Center to wait until the helicopters arrived to get us out. The two of us set out, and we eventually met up with another kid and found a staff jeep, and drove towards the visitor until the jeep stalled.
-Immediately after this we got out and resumed on foot. We were on a path near the Visitor Center surrounded by trees and overshadowed by canopy when a Carnotaurus came up behind us. The kid lured it off into the jungle to buy me and the girl time to get to the center. I’m not sure if he made it out or not. Anyway, the two of us bolted and we came up to the Visitor Center a few moments later.
-There were other people, surviving staff and tourists, inside. Peter Capaldi was there on a stretcher and he was missing both legs. He was getting snippy with the staff and John Hammond told him “Just because you’ve been disemboweled by a dinosaur doesn’t give you the excuse to be rude”.
-When the dream ended we went down a staircase to a massive scale model of the island. The control room was nearby. Hammond and Ray Arnold were talking about two ways of ending the disaster; either activating a “lethal gene” in the dinosaurs’ DNA that would begin to kill them, or shutting off something in the park’s geothermal power plant that would trigger a volcanic eruption, destroying the island. Not sure which one they picked; the dream ended in the middle of that conversation. I get the distinct feeling that my mind was trying to wrap things up before I woke up.
That's a weird dream. Have you been watching the movies or playing the video games recently? That could have started the dream, because things that happen from day to day are processed by the brain when you sleep. Eating strong cheese and dark chocolate late at night are also causes of this kind of stuff. Mind, I'm not sure if that stops Pinkie Pie from eating chocolate all day and all night long...
Hell of a dream right there. XD
Sounds legit to me. I once turned down a housesitting/dogsitting job when I found out the neighbors had an unrestrained pit bull. I've been on the receiving end of dogs' teeth before (though thankfully not from one of those monsters). I was NOT gonna take a chance on it again.
Isn't that the way things always go? I once had a dream about playing a game where the Earth was invaded by an empire of psychic aliens. Woke up *right before* the ending, or at least right before the explicit conclusion of the story. I got far enough to know that the bad guys were longer a threat, but the instant that my subconscious thought "what next?" I woke up. XD

Well, I did have a cheese stick or two before I went to bed...
makes a mental note to eat more cheese before bed

It's a rotten way to go, isn't it? You outrun the dinosaur but then get killed by the dog.

It'd be even worse if you outran the dinosaur but got killed by something insultingly mundane. Like falling down a flight of stairs, or tripping and breaking your neck because of said outrunning.

Don't say I didn't warn you...
