I had this extensive dream last night about being in this huge house that was attacked by a velociraptor. But the majority of the dream was after this happened when all the people inside the house were attempting to figure out how to survive (i.e. keep the velociraptor outside) and how to defeat this dangerous predator. There were stones and other things to help us move around the house without power, so we could feel our way to different locations and identify them by touch. One of the teenagers had set up a lab where s/he (it was actually ambiguous and indefinite in that it wasn't important or noteworthy) was breeding velociraptors in order to perform some experiments which involved a semi-gelatinous covered creature moving around the house in pursuit of the food the teenager had set up. I specifically remember a bunch of miniature goats in a gallon-size plastic bag that appeared to be preserved and awaiting animation. Someone else had created a large poster (like one that would be used at a conference) with an analysis of the Jurassic Park films and how the characters survived or died in an attempt to help us make effective and life-preserving choices.
The dream wasn't particularly scary or upsetting. It was mostly some weird social psychology experiment, observing human (and animal) behaviour. And I woke up somewhat confounded that I had that elaborate dream about topics that were not at the front of my mind. But I guess that's part of dreams, right? Sub-conscious processing. So far I haven't gleaned anything revelatory from the dream, but I'll let it sit and see if anything significant occurs to me.
