Last night I dreamed that I was working at PetCo (although it wasn't quite set up like my store - it was instead reminiscent of a grocery store I frequented in SC with some PetCo-like characteristics) and we had a lion on the premesis. He had evidently been there a while and I had done some training with him.
Anyway, he got loose and came after me. In my dream he took off both of my legs below the knee and ate them in front of me. My coworkers were all surprised by this and were hollering to try to get him off of me. The odd thing is that he took the first leg, dragged it off to the other side of the training area at my store, and looked at me - waiting for permission to eat, as I do with Storm and with any dog I train. I let him have it; after all, he had already mauled the thing - what good would it do me? I watched as he ate it and stalked me again to take my remaining shin. Again my coworkers appeared but it was already too late. I let him eat the other one, too.
My coworkers finally got him contained and were then trying to figure out what to do. I was calm (and standing somehow, although I don't quite know how) despite bleeding all over the place. I was holding onto the doorway to the office for support but starting to fade a bit. I suggested finding something for me to sit on, and someone got me a cart with wheels on it. I was aware of feeling phantom limb pains.
My shins still feel funny.
I am aware of my discomfort in posting any of my dream analyses here anymore, but that is not going to goad me into posting my views on this one.
