Dream a Weird Dream

I had a very, very strange dream last night.

Some of it comes in snatches. Some of it is a long story involving me and my family as circus performers. Anyway. Here it is:

snatch of dream: I was riding in a truck with my brother (who is 17 but driving in my dream) and I realized someone had cut the back of my tongue when I was asleep and now it only hung on by a thread...pretty soon, I would be tongueless! I started panicking, trying to figure out ways to make the "t" an "d" sounds without my tongue. I was freaking out, my tongue was sliding out of my mouth, and just as I was saying, "I can't talk without my tongue!" it slipped out.

Long, Complicated Part of Dream:

My family and I were circus performers and were visiting a mansion. We thought we were going to be entertaining but the owner (the villain) had other ideas...his whole pool was full of crocodiles and he was going to feed us to them, one by one. I came up with a clever line to save our lives - something about we had a most unique performance ready and he'd be the first to see it and it would take some time to rehearse, blah, blah, blah, and a few months went by and we performed a crazy routine in the crocodile-free pool (I had somehow managed to get them taken away) with a horse and a big beach ball. (I don't know) Then we went inside to the party and lo and behold, there was the Hancock family and the Roberts family and all sorts of CIU people were there, and it was crazy. And I re-told the story of how I saved my family's lives and I got really into it and was like "And I told HIM, Hayel (H*** with a southern accent) no! My family is NOT going to be your live bait!" and etc. Apparently people were amazed that I had been able to secure the safety of my family and I was surprised that it had actually worked.

Yeah, it was weird.

And what does it even mean?!
