Odd dinosaur dream

I had a dream on Monday night (24 Jan 05). Me and Jo were going into some woods. As we went in we were passed by a huge woolly mammoth that was just leaving. It must have been over 4 times my height. On its back were two cavemen wrapped in furs. I was amazed, and pointed out to Jo that mammoths were supposed to be extinct.

We went further, and now saw dinosaurs. They were herbivores so I wasn't concerned, only amazed. However, we then came to a bend in the path. As we came around the bend I saw another dinosaur, but this looked like a carnivore - it looked like a T Rex that stood just above person height. We turned back and went down a different path. My recollection is a bit hazy on this point, we walked until we came to a building or complex of buildings, passing several carnivore dinosaurs on the way.

My viewpoint then changes to a ceiling view inside a rectangular building. There is a doorway in the middle of one of the long walls, and opposite the doorway a woman in attached to the wall, crucifixion-style, with blood dripping from her. I have the odd idea that she has done this herself, perhaps something a bit kinky? But I also think that the smell of her blood will attract the dinosaurs.

My viewpoint then changes again. I am now the woman, though I'm now actually myself and not a woman, and I'm not attached to the wall but am crumpled in the the corner of the room, covered in the blood. Jo comes into the room, and I warn her to go before a dinosaur comes. Just then a dinosaur does come in. Jo runs to the other end of the room, and the dinosaur's head follows her almost as if it is herding her. But then it turns it attention to me, comes across and begins to tuck into my groin area. I feel my face contorting with pain, though I don't actually feel any pain or fear. Then after a few seconds I woke up normally (that is, not in the way one normally wakes from nightmares).

I think the Jurassic Park films have been on TV very recently, though I haven't watched them.
