i'm walking down a concrete path by the beach. coming the other way on the path is a massive lion. there are elephants sitting ominously in the waves just a bit off shore. the lion gives me a menacing look as i pass by him. i glance back at him and he's stopped dead in his tracks looking at me. i get nervous. i look out at the elephants and they're walking away into deeper water. i start walking faster. i look back and the male lion is shrinking into the distance. i continue forward. i look behind me and see a female lion. i start to walk yet faster. i look behind me and she's starting a run. i start running. i keep looking back and see her gaining on me. when she gets close she bites me in the butt. not hard, but a playful bite. i look back and she's right there. she's happy. she's playing. i stop running and start talking to her. i ask her why there are african animals everywhere. she tells me that the government introduced them to help out our environment. i accept it. she leads me to a house at the end of the path. it's in construction. i find a book in the middle of one of the rooms. it has a dark leather cover and strange looking characters in it. i examine it for a while. when i look up from the book the construction is done. the room looks like an auditorium. there are blinking tv's on the walls. i examine everything. i wake up.
