In a Bedroom Full of Lions

Date: 9/26/2018

In this dream, I wake up in a bedroom full of lions; they aren't bothering me because they think I am dead. I pretend to be because I know if I make any sudden movements, my flesh will be ripped apart; and especially with the average lion weighing 400-500 lbs of muscle, I know I can't overpower them. I am terrified because I don't know how I ended up here; and, why are their lions in the bedroom; they all are sleeping except one that is breathing down the back of my neck, suspecting I am still alive. My heart is beating very fast as I am full of fear, so I stay still as best as I can, knowing he can sank his teeth in and crush my neck. I am thinking there's no way I can get out of this bedroom without one noticing me sneaking out; and, I would have to hope they sleep at the same time. Then, I would have to do my best not to wake any up by making any sounds or accidently stepping on any of them that are sleeping on the floor. The fear woke me up in real life.
