I came home after a not so bad day at work and started reading. Within a few minutes, sleep hit me. May be, it was the tiredness or may be, the lack of previous night's sleep but I succumbed to the sleep. As I drifted into the sleep around 6 PM, my dreamworld unfolded.
A friend of mine suggests watching a movie and as I start watching it, the movie is juxtaposed by a 'nature' episode. It's about lions. As the show narrator starts narrating the lion's behavior, the camera focuses on a lake and gradually zooms in on the lion's face which is inside the lake. The lion is emerging out of the lake ( for those of you who've seen "The spy who loved me", imagine the lion instead of James Bond's car as it comes out of the ocean" ) and suddenly as the lion get's out of the lake, the narrator is touching it's mouth and petting it just as she would pet a dog and explaining how friendly the lions actually are.
Then in a flash , the lion panics and goes into a hole in the ground dragging all it's cubs and covering itself and the cubs with mud. The cubs as such are not cubs, but more like rats. The narrator is gone and the camera zooms out. A pack of wild dogs are on the prowl and they are scratching the loose mud out to get to the lion and it's cubs. Then one of the dogs finds the lion's legs and starts eating the leg ... and I can hear the bones crushing as if I'm standing right next to the dogs. At this point, I woke up. It was 7.30 PM.
I freaked out when I woke up. Come to think of it, a lion that is so powerful, sensing the attack of a pack of wild dogs, retreats in fear to a huge underground hole. His cubs are as small as mole rats. The scariest part, he lies helplessly with his cubs, as the wild dogs clear the covering mud and start eating him alive.
While none of the above scenarios can occur in the actual world, I need to analyze why and how such a subconscious thought manifested.
