My sig is the product of a dream wherein a Tyrannosaurus rex was stalking around our house and stooping down to look in the windows when an unknown older gentleman appeared in our living room as if teleported there and said, “Sleeping in the hen house doesn’t make you a chicken.”
This dream has stuck with me for several reasons. Even though I was a dinosaur worker in a former life I don’t remember dreaming of living non-avian dinosaurs before, or since. I have dreamed of facing impossible logistics in recovery of important fossil specimens, and such maladies as jackets collapsing, but never of living Tyrannosaurs. Oddly I was not afraid the Tyrannosaur was about to intrude and eat me, and the enormous beast seemed more curious than anything else, which was reciprocated in spades. The T. rex was hardly anything like the Jurassic Park beasts and moved silently as it circled our house.
I think this may have represented my mind attempting to build cladistic relationships within theropods while sleeping, and the frustration arising from my current lack of access to information and specimens to settle my own issues. The older gentleman may have been a representation of paleo-workers proceeding me, and relationship methods they used prior to the rise of cladistics.
