Had a Lucid-type Dream Last Night

I was being chased by a lion once, as a teenager. In the dream I was about 10 years old. It finally caught me and bit me in the left butt cheek. I immediately awoke..... somewhat predictably, with a very sore cheek, which continued to ache for, As I recall, about 3 days.
Now in my sixties, I battle demons in my dreams.
The rest of the story I deleted, as it probably belongs in another forum.
