A Dream Story.
In the beginning of the dream, I and a few others were walking along a shore side and it was a lot of green trees and vegetation just 5-10 meters above the shore side. Then suddenly we saw a bunch of [adult] lions resting in front of us, perhaps only 100-200 meters from where we stood.
We then quickly considered a few options, either running in the opposite direction, perhaps the lions would not see us, and lions are bad if not very lousy endurance runners caused by their biologically composition being heavy, bulky, powerful, and having anaerobic cardio system compared to humans, so we thought about actually outrunning them, but the rugged landscape made it too dangerous.
Since there were trees upside the shore line, probably tall enough trees for us to escape too, since we also knew that lions are bad climbers, for some of the exact same reasons that lions are lousy endurance runners, we considered that option also, but chose not to. The second last option we considered were to quickly collect a good number of decent sized small stones, if we threw rocks at them and some rocks hit close or even directly at them if we could be skilled enough to hit them, their instinct would be to walk away if not run away from us.
We then walked left, right into the sea, which were a bit cold but nothing too bad for us to swim in for as long it would take to out swim the lions, which are also not very good swimmers and even much worse fighters in water if they can't find footing which in this situation were absolutely certain. A good tactical reason that we choose to try to make a safe distance between us and the lions were that even if the lions could see us, their instinct tells them if a potential prey is too far away that even faint luck would not work in their favor, they would never waste energy on chasing us.
An isle or small island were on the other side of the shore side, perhaps 300-500 meters from us and we thought the lions would not follow into the water or they would swim very slowly or we could try punching them in the sea, which while it would very likely be the lions that would have the comparative disadvantage in fighting us while swimming, their teeth and claws made it too dangerous, so we made it to the small island that had lots of trees and tall rocks in time before the lions made landfall.
But we didn't waste any time after we were onshore on the little island, while tall trees were not hard to find, there was also a 4-5 meter tall and perhaps 2 meter wide stone wall that were exactly adjacent to the big trees. So we started climbing the stonewall while the lions were right behind us, but since it is even harder for lions to climb upside a stone wall than to climb trees we were safe even that the distance were only a few meters. But it felt threatening and risky almost the whole time until we were actually on top of the stonewall and decided to rest for a minute.
The ending of this dream was very Hollywood-esque because out of nowhere, a giant human Nicholas Cage appeared which had to be above 5 meters tall, because he grabbed two lions, one with each arm and dragged them away from us...!!! And that was the end of the dream, we didn't need to figure out of any options or dangers or possibility because we were saved completely.
