I am dreaming that I am looking outside in the front yard and see 3 bengal tigers walking around. I have a sense that they come out from time to time. My friend is outside and I ask him to come in before he has a chance to see the tigers and get scared. As he walks in the front door the tigers come in too. There are two large tigers and a baby. I am cautious but not afraid. We stand still and the tigers explore and are milling around in and out of us and the room. I then find myself lying on the floor embracing the mother who is also lying on the floor cradling her baby. It's like we are all "spooning". I am in awe and feel a bit scared yet calm. Eventually they get up and go through the back door into the back yard.

I am dreaming and then as I begin to awaken I see in my dreamy imaging a startling sight in black and white with these monster-like faces in agony as worms go in and out of their mouths and all around them. The tiger on top is just still., tongue protruding. I get a sense that there might be a man behind this tiger mask. They seem to be alive though and their eyes are rolling around...in agony... the only thing moving other than the worms. The worms have a hard casing and many little feet....Very grotesque images and I am horrified as I watch, heart racing.
