New Year

I am attending a new year mass in a church. The place is full. I go and sit next to my father in the front row. They bring out a row of lions in a cage. They start lowering the grill of the cage. I’m panicking and think it shouldn’t have come out to the front. I cannot go back because I need to be still so that the lions don’t attack. The father in the church asks everyone to stay calm. A lion climbs onto my lap and rests its head on my shoulder. I am scared but take deep breaths. Eventually the lions slips out of my lap. I am thinking this is exactly like my dream where a lion rests on my lap. The lions are guided away.
