I had a dream last night that I just keep wondering what the heck?!?!

It's sad, but I'm really interested in it.

It started that I was walking along the banks of a pond or small lake in what seems to be a park. There was short grass and a small covered bridge possibly Everett Rd covered bridge and a path near me. As I stroll along the bank I turn from the shore to go up to the path, and there's a black bear coming around a slight curve in the path towards me. He doesn't see me yet and I freeze and think, "oh crap!" I have nothing to defend myself with.

As the bear notices me, I see the wheels start spinning in its brain and just then my brothers dog, Thorin, (which has been gone many years) came from the bridge and positioned himself between me and the bear. I see the bear making it's choice and it's going to attack and I think that I need to get between Thorin and the bear. As I start to move, a pickup truck of guys comes racing in and shoots and kills the bear with a rifle. But the rifle shot, goes through the bear and strikes Thorin in the eye!

Now Thorin is laying there, twitching and I yell, "kill the dog! kill the dog!"

This is the weirdest dream I've had in a very long time. Anyone have any opinions... on the dream??

Thanks!
