One of my roommates has really strange lucid dreams all the time. They almost ALWAYS involve Bears and Gorillas engaged in an endless battle against eachother and they've taken their war to the streets. They sound pretty intense:
Gorillas hanging in trees with guns, and Bears throwing grenades at the base of trees to send them teetering over. Eventually wolves come through to guard the humans who are caught in the crossfire.
I came home the other day and there were pictures cut out of National Geographic magazines of a Gorilla on one side of the doorway, and a bear on the other, facing the door as you walk in is a great picture of a pack of wolves. The frightening thing is that most of the war is being masterminded, or so he thinks, by an Alligator.
Just an anecdote about the Alligator:
When he was about six years old he had a toy Alligator made of that hard rubber that they make those types of toys out of. His cousin, 2 years older than him, walked up to him and she tore the alligator apart with her teeth right before his eyes. She chewed off the legs, the top jaw, and most of the tail. Now whenever he gives us a hardtime about trusting us with something we always have to tell him "Relax, we aren't going to eat your alligator." It gets a laugh every time.
