Beware of T-Rex

MORNING OF NOVEMBER 27, 2008

The only thing I can remember is being in one of the "Rave" theaters in Birmingham with several friends. This particular theater actually has a separate room that is obviously for children--perhaps for birthday parties and the like--though I've never seen it in use. In the dream, this room looked more like a bedroom.

The room was locked and guarded by what looked like military officials. They wouldn't let anyone in because there was a Tyrannosaurus Rex hiding in the room. Looking through the windows, the room appeared empty except for a bed and other furniture.

Occasionally the officials would send people in to try to tackle the dinosaur and it would just "appear" out of hiding from under some piece of furniture that could never conceivably conceal such a huge creature. Inevitably the poor souls who confronted the beast met their doom, and then T-Rex would go back into hiding, awaiting the next victims.

I never participated directly in the events, but was part of a gathering crowd who were watching in mixed terror and amazement.
