I think my dream machine is broken

Last night, I dreamed I was walking a small dog. As we passed a field, I saw a loosely grouped herd of groundhogs, like a herd of deer, moving purposefully through a hilly field with brush here and there. I tried to get the dog to see them, but they were pretty far off, so she didn't notice. As the dog went into the field exploring, I saw a pride of lions coming into view behind the herd of groundhogs. I called the dog to me and picked her up, and headed for the house. One of the younger lions was walking on a tangent toward me, so it would meet me a little further up the drive. It walked just behind and beside me to the house, which happened to be my friend's house. I called for a piece of beef to distract the lion, so I could get in, but my Mom (?!) handed me a mini powdered donut through the door and I gave it to the lion.
That is one bizzare dream!

Whenever I have I dream that sticks with me, I always ask what was I trying to tell myself?

And I try to figure out what the dream means. This one was so wacky, I don't know where to start

more snow and cold through this week. I was thinking the lions of winter are chasing away the harbingers of spring and maybe the weather isn't my enemy

I didn't get the idea it was about that. If anything, surrealism at its finest!

that their wildest lies were just a distraction.

Your dream would make an interesting painting.
