DINOSAUR DREAM

my dream last night.

suddenly, my stomach started feeling jumpy -- but to the point where i could see some creature's head, literally moving beneath the skin on my abdomen. the thrumming sensation turned into something much more violent, jumping. at which point, i actually stuck my hand into my abdomen and tore out a small dinosaur. naturally, that left a huge gaping hole in my gullet. another small dinosaur quickly followed on the heels of the first. and i had to dip my hand into my abdominal cavity again, this time, ripping off most of the flesh on my torso.

suddenly, i was in a suburban tract home. again, i felt a distinct stirring, then a more tumultuous, back and forth sensation in my stomach. i tore one creature another out of  my body, but, this time, in quicker, then, never-ending, succession. each creature was different -- an admixture between a reptile/dinosaur and a transformer-like plated crustacean. while asleep, i was distinctly aware and living through the sensation of each abdominal disturbance. finally, i was sitting inside the living room of my suburban home, when i saw a young, green, hapless, rather adorable dinosaur show up on the front lawn. somehow, it dawned on me that i had to kill this dinosaur in order to make all the little ones vanish or die.

i woke up at that point.

i never remember my dreams, let alone write them down, but this one is still fresh in my consciousness. i can still feel each creature in my body, thrashing around....
