I basically was at a farm where we owned lions. A young male lion with a beautiful black mane, i befriended just before I had to take him to the vet and because he was older now he had to go to a zoo due to too much testosterone. Anyway I successfully loaded him in the vehicle got him to the vet. Next thing I know hes hunting me because someone reversed over him but someone said hes hunting me because I was the last person he seen so he associated me with the accident. Anyway I was in my coastguard truck, for some reason that became the animal vehicle and he was literally chasing it. My mum was driving (she doesn't even drive) anyway got to a bit further down from the coastguard station, got stuck in traffic and he started coming. So my mum suggested I get out and run and find cover she will drive opposite direction and then come get me. I seen a speed camera van and the guy was like oh are you coastguard I use to be coastguard and I asked him if I could jump in and hide from the lion. He allowed me to, then a bunch of police officers jumped in for lunch and I told them the story of why the lion was chasing me, i started telling them i ran him over but dream me corrected myself and was like "no thats wrong i didnt run him over, someone else who wasnt his friend did" i remember being sad because me and the lion were close friends. My mum was taking ages so I said I would go back to the farm (which some how was my station) and look for her. I walked over seen the vehicle and no sign of the lion, so opened passenger side and the lion was just sat there licking himself and then he noticed me and I slammed the door shut, thought about hiding under the truck but realised he'd smell me and catch me so I could only run. He got out and was chasing behind me as I just got to the road the speed camera van was on and I was shouting open the door as the lion was right behind me away to catch me and then I jolted awake.
