My friends (At least they were in the dream) and I were being chased by a humongus dinosaur. At this point it was a nightmare, but we defeated it by making run into a walk-in closet which somehow had a botomless pit inside. o.O
But then I had a sense of "Okay.... Now what?" I just stood there for a minute, then thought, "Wait, what am I afraid of? That thing can't hurt me because this is just a dream!" I was lucid. I decided I was going to face my fear, so I tried conjuring up the dinosaur again. But it didn't work. I tried again and again. Finally I tried so hard that there were flashes of light, and the dream shook. I didn't see anything, but something felt different. I walked into the closet and looked into the pit to see a flight of stairs that was in a sqare pattern, like they always are in tall buildings. I heard footsteps as something walked on the floor directly below me towards the bottom of the staircase. But it didn't sound like the dinosaur. It was a person's footsteps. I considered going down the staircase, but a feeling in my gut told me it wasn't a good idea... Just then, the footsteps got louder and deeper, and the dinosaur came into view, walking up the stairs. It was only about 10 feet away, and I lost lucidity out of shock and fright. Luckily it wasn't facing me because of the square shaped staircase, and couldn't see me. But it obviously knew where we were. I ran back into the room and said "We have to go. Now."
This time, it wasn't a nightmare. Sure it was scary, but I kept my head, and lead my group of friends, who were freaking out. It was like a strategy game now. We were always a few rooms ahead of the dinosaur, but I always had to find us a hiding spot before enough time passed and the dinosaur (Who was faster than us) came bursting into the room. The dinosaur always found our hiding place, but we managed to keep escaping.
Eventually we found a car and put a mile's distance between us and the dinosaur before it broke down. But somehow, it still knew where we were. "Of course!" one of my friends said. "The dinosaur has our scent!" He then proceeded to tell us that the only things that could mess with this particular dinosaur's sense of smell were jalepeno peppers, candy, and chlorine. Luckily there was a life sized gingerbread house ahead so we ducked inside. Then the dinosaur busted in. It was right next to us, but couldn't see us at all. At this point I lost my sense of fear and remembered that this was a dream. Furious at the monster, I beat it's face in.
