When I woke up from this dream, I immediately got up and wrote it down.  I had this dream about 2 years ago.  I have misplaced it,  but I think that my memory is fairly accurate.

About 2 years ago, I dreamed that it was daytime and I was sitting in my living room.  I got up to put my two little dogs out. When I got to the back door I saw a spotted leopard standing outside the door, but it didn't see me.  I quickly shooed the dogs away from the door before the leopard saw them.  I then glanced back toward the back door and the leopard was moving away and had his back to me, but now a male lion was standing there looking in the door (the exterior doors have glass panels in them).  I was only a little apprehensive about the lion as far as I was concerned, but was really afraid that if he saw my dogs he might try to come through the door to eat them.  Then I went to my bedroom, my mother was in there, and I told her what I had just seen.  She stepped out into the hallway with me and then I noticed my sister was in the guest room next to my room.  I said something to her, but don't remember what I said.  Then my mother and I started down the hallway together and there was a knock at the front door.  As we started past the back door, I stopped and she went on to answer the front door.  When I looked out the back door, both the leopard and the lion were gone.

Then I started to the front door to see who had knocked.  The back door of my house is in the living room and the front door of my house comes into the dining room.  So, when I stepped into the dining room, there were people just inside the door hanging something on the ceiling about 12-15 inches inside the entry of the dining room.  You would not have been able to step inside the house without stepping under this contraption. There were 3 or 4 people inside the dining room and a lot of people outside.  I knew that they were some kind of fed. security people.  They told me that there had been a lot of shoes lately that had been coming into the country containing lead and that these things were to detect lead.  I said okay, but I knew they were lying and that the purpose of the contraptions were for surveillance.  The contraptions were cylindrical in shape, approximately 6-8 inches in diameter and hung down from the ceiling approximately 12 inches.  There is also an exterior door in my bedroom and they put one in there, too.

I remembered that my two dogs needed to go out, so I put them out the front door and walked outside with them.  There were still a lot of these people all over my property.  I turned around and looked at my house and it was on blocks.  In reality, my house is on a solid concrete foundation.  The two dogs had run under the house and were headed for the back yard.  I thought of the lion that had been there and ran to the back of the house to protect my dogs from the lion in case he was still hanging around, but he wasn't there.  Whew!!! Then I opened the back door, let the dogs in and when I looked up, there wasn't one of those cylinders at the back door.  At this point, all of those people were gone and they had forgotten to put one at the back door.  I went to my bedroom and motioned to my mother to follow me without saying anything.  We slipped out the back door and walked away from the house.  It was now almost dark outside and it had started to rain; just a fine mist.  I whispered to her.  It's the computers.

I had another dream not more than a week later.  The only thing that I remembered about it was that there was a bear in it.
