If you have a new baby, you don't get much sleep so you tend to take as many naps as possible. Even if you're not sleepy, you still nap because you know it's going to be a long and shitty night. Sometimes these naps lead to dreams. And my dreams can be a wonderfully scary place. Dreams about a lion trying to tear the skin off my stomach and the only thing keeping him from it is my hands pushing on his nose. I call out for help and noone comes. They just keep walking. And this was in a big place with lots of folks milling around. I even called "Mamma, he's trying to eat my skin! Please help!" and she didn't. I finally got away from him when I made it to a door and shut myself away. Then I was able to jump into movie portals. Movie portals that my husband told me not to go to. A place where people had hollow faces and no eyes. And I just keep portaling to other movies that were equally as horrible.
A quick look at the dream interpretation site:
Lion:
To
see a lion in your dream, symbolizes great strength, courage, aggression and power.
You will overcome some of your emotional difficulties. As king of the
jungle, the lion also represents dignity, royalty, leadership, pride and domination. You
have much influence over others. You also need to exercise some restraint in your own personal and social life.
To
dream that you are attacked by a lion, suggests that a force may be driving you to
self-destruction. You need overcome these challenges and obstacles.
Step back folks, I'm about to self-destruct!
