I have been having very vivid dreams lately. It may be due to sleeping better with no caffeine in my system. Anyway, my dreams have me caught up in strange scenarios people that are no longer in my life. What does it mean to be eating grilled lion's meat in a dream? The dreams are very vivid, and I wake up slightly disturbed in the morning. It is different than a nightmare as a kid, but I still feel a bit rattled.
