Wow that’s interesting

I remember this nightmare i had where i was being chased around the outside of a house by this huge crococile-like creature, and then in my dream i remembered this children’s story i read about facing down your fears and if you tell your nightmare that you’re not afraid of it then it will go away. So i sropped running, turned around, and told my nightmare, like in the story i read, “i’m not afraid of you, you’re not real” and then the creature rears up on both legs, and says to me, “oh, but i AM real” and enclosed me in its jaws. That was years ago, and i don’t think i’m ever forgetting that

…and it doesn’t help that recently i learned barinasuchus is a thing that existed
