When I was 15 I had a dream that I was stuck in a town house with a bunch of large wild animals. I was trying to get out but I did not know the way. I became more and more anxious and I felt as if the animals were chasing me or trying to cause me harm. When I finally found the door and ran outside I got into a cab and told the driver to go "anywhere but here". I remember looking out the car window at a giant giraffe that had stuck its head out of the second story window and was peeling its lips back at me. |
