T-rex

So I had this dream last night. Now, I normally don't remember my dreams, but this one stuck with me. Only glimpses in my mind now that I am conscious, but still, it stuck.When I was waking up, I still had the dream on my mind and I started to think about it, and to my surprise, I came up with an interpretation of the dream.

In m dream, there were some people. These people were running, fighting, and doing everything they could to stay alive and not be eaten. Eaten by what you ask? Great question, They were being followed, or attacked rather, by a Tyrannosaurus Rex. This T-rex is doing everything it can to try to eat you. Tearing down trees, biting stuff in half. The people try to defend themselves by building a fence, it gets shredded. They try using spears, they do nothing. So the people start running.

They run, and they start up a steep mountainside. While this happens, it starts to rain. The rain turns the mountainside into mud and it is too slick for the T-rex to keep up, and eventually it slides down the mountain. The people, however, have no problems going up the mud. They had been saved by the rain.

Now, I know it is slightly corny, but I had the thought that this dream represents, in a way, God's love. First, let's start with the T-rex. I think that this T-rex represents some combination of Satan, sin, and the inevitability that sin will kill us unless we can be saved. Then there are the people, they try everything in THEIR power to stop the sin from killing them. The problem with their power is that it isn't enough and that the T-rex, the sin, was still catching up to them. Finally, there is the rain. To me, this represents how God's love is raining down on us, how it can literally wash away the sin, and save us from our fate.

I know that a T-rex is a little nerdy, but I am a nerd, so the message was tailored especially well for me and other like me.
