I dream I have purchased a large rubbery lizard that is said to have a rudimentary artificial intelligence. At first, I am unimpressed by the lizard and wish to throw it out, but gradually the lizard gets smarter and larger. My plan it to ditch the lizard at a synagogue function. I leave it in a small pond in back of the event, but it has turned charming and has acquired the ability to change colors. It has grown large now, so I fold it up and bring it home.

I dream I am at a playground talking to articulate lizards with long, green bodies, only two legs each, and perfectly semi-circular snouts. Huge trucks are staking out their grounds. Then, the more intelligent of the two lizards bites me. I contemplate what weapons I will need to clobber them.

I dream I am going to my mother’s doctor to turn in some paperwork. The woman behind the pay window, however, insists I write her a check and I’m not sure what to do. Meanwhile a man does a demonstration with a series of pits. A giant lizard-creature comes out of one pit and attacks the man. The man successfully defends himself but the lizard-creature is only toying with him. Somehow, I know the demonstration with the pits and lizard is a commentary on the business transaction with the doctor.
