Perfect timing. Just had a stonker.

I'm from Somerset, and there are some nice hills called The Quantocks. I was up one of these hills with one of my sisters. Our family was renting a cottage somewhere at the bottom of one; country lane and vines and trout. I found a baby elephant, and upon finding it decided that the absolute best course of action was to raise it and train it to become a circus performer, and thus have our own family travelling circus. My sister agreed.

So, we decided that we would need to build a container for the elephant so we could move it, and a couple extra carriages to contain the future attractions we would most certainly have. This being a dream, once the idea to create a travelling landtrain appeared, so they appeared. "We need a landtrain." LANDTRAIN COMPLETED. We had three basic carts, with a fourth, larger one at the back, and this train was being pulled by.... me, on my bike. My push bike.

No problems there. Away we went. As we were riding down the hills on this beautiful day, there were many families out for picnics and suchlike, as families are wont to do. Rather unusually for Somerset, however, were all the smurfing wild animals stalking and hunting and fighting each other, but not the people, pleasantly noshing on cheese as if they weren't even aware of all the hyenas and leopards and cheetahs and that MASSIVE smurfING BEAR. Exactly one grizzly bear, and it was uncommonly large. It was scaring off some hyenas as I cycled by.

My sister was curious about that. "How could there be so many of these types of animals?" she wondered in her head which I, being in a dream, obviously heard. I explained that it was like in the Dresden Files, how Dresden says that animals escape from zoos and peoples' homes all the time, and are never seen again. She remembered this and no longer wondered. (Note that what I said is not from the Dresden Files, but is actually from the Life of Pi. )

As we neared a country lane, a leopard had caught sight of the elephant in its carriage and was in pursuit. I pedalled faster to escape it, but it was still able to run alongside. I tried shooting it, but I didn't have any kind of ranged weapon. It's not that I had a ranged weapon that suddenly disappeared, but rather that at no point in this dream did I have any kind of ranged weapon. I don't know why I even tried. I became more worried, but after a far too bloody long time pedalling, my sister shot the leopard dead. She had a gun, or perhaps found one in the carriages that we made from scratch out of cardboard and wood.

We arrived at our cottage. My granddad, who was the leader of the family I suppose, listened to my proposition and wholeheartedly agreed. We decided to stay in the cottage and enact our plan.

The dream skipped forward a few years. The elephant was getting sick and depressed because of it's crappy accommodation, so we decided that we would need freight train carriages to give it ample room to live and be healthy. We also figured we may as well get a few if we're getting one. Planning ahead, see? And again, because we wanted it, they appeared instantly. We want freight carriages, now we have freight carriages. Happy elephant.

The dream skipped forward again. The elephant decided to go for a walk. My family were uneasy because it might get hurt or stolen, so I went with it. No more than 100 metres away from the cottage, people see the elephant and are fascinated. They crowd around it and start touching it, which it doesn't like at all. I politely ask them to stop because they're scaring the elephant, and they acquiesce. Then they pretty much immediately started doing it again. I asked them three more times with similar results before getting angry, and roared "STOP." Exactly the same way as Caesar roars "GO." to the humans in the Rise of the Dawn of the Planet of the Apes film.

Then I woke up. This was two nights ago.
