So I had this dream last night.
In it, Sarah had a china hutch that she was using to hold her pet, which was a thing that looked like a semi-bipedal (like a bear or ape) skinless rabbit that was identified as a capybara. In my dream, I had walked past the capybara hutch many times but it had never been moving so I'd assumed it was stuffed, and the time that I saw it moving, it was moving because it was feeding. The capybara ate small snakes, which it strangled using its muscular forelimbs. I watched it partially eat one snake, then another one unfurled a hood and started biting the capybara in the stomach with wicked curved fangs, pulling a flap of flesh away. I freaked out and alerted Sarah, who responded by removing the capybara from the hutch (leaving the door open) and putting it on her bed, where she just cleaned the wound and held the flap in place. Meanwhile, the snake slipped out and went under the bed.
I was the only one who was concerned about this. Sarah said that this snake and the capybara were friends, and it had just been riled up and would need to calm down on its own and we'd know that happened when it came up onto the bed and started cuddling with the capybara for warmth again. But in the meantime it was darting all around the room and every time it slipped behind something it seemed to get bigger when it re-emerged. When it was the size of a small dog, it popped four pairs of clawed limbs out and started skittering around on them while Sarah explained it was actually a rare type of salamander. She said the claws were highly venomous, as were tiny barbs that protruded fro all its joints.
It started very obviously stalking me, and it chased me out of the house and into a lake. Being amphibious, it only became more efficient a predator in the water. It kept swiping at me and brushing against me with its barbs, which contained a paralyzing venom.
Fun dream, right? The really fun part is waking up covered with painful scratches all up and down my legs because I had an allergic reaction right before going to sleep, and the Benadryl evidently hadn't completely kicked in by the time I fell asleep.
