Last night I had a dream.
I was walking through a small patch of woods. Doing what, I cannot remember. All of a sudden I notice this Black Panther (at this point my dream-me remembered people had been saying that there was a Panther on the loose)
I quickly weighed my options and did the most obvious thing... I took flight and prayed to god it didn't chase me.
I ran. I can never run very quickly while dream, I've noticed this before. I suspect it has something to do with me being asleep.
After a short run I decided to look back and see if it was chasing (This, of course, was a mistake. In my experience if you think something *might* happen, in a dream, it *will* happen) The Panther was right behind me. Again, I took stock of my options then did the least obvious thing.
I turned around.
The Panther pounced for my throat. While it was in mid air I leapt forward and grabbed it bottom jaw with my right hand. In doing this I managed to get it onto the ground on it back. I knelt on it body to prevent it from escaping and held its head back on the ground, holding its jaw closed. I the proceeded to take its neck in my left hand and throttle it to death.
I like to believe dreams mean things... So what the crap does this one mean!?!
This is metaphor, I'm sure. If only I knew what for...
