Reptilian dreams

Dreams of reptiles: snakes, lizards, crocs and gators... and quite a few scaly people. A few dinosaurs and dragons have snuck in here, though as hot-blooded creatures (in the case of dragons, alarmingly so) they aren't reptiles--scales or not.

In my dreams at least, I think that cold blood is what reptility's all about! Torpid, but tough and enduring. Or a life of instinct, ruled by the reptile brain below all our fancy circuits for logic and social smarts.

RELATED TOPICS: snakes, nagas & lamias - dinosaurs & dino people - birds & bird people - dragons - amphibians, mostly frogs - fish - shelled creatures, including turtles and tortoises - animal people in general - See also the full INDEX OF SUBJECTS.
