I was sitting by a camp fire in the woods late at night warming myself up as if I was camping and suddenly noticed something walking around near me around the brush and noticed it was a hyena and realized it was a danger then I attempted to grab it to neutralize the threat I felt at the moment that’s all I remember from my dream. I remember feeling somewhat threatened but confident that I could easily face the perceived threat.
