The Lioness, And Me

I cant comprehend how it happened, but i somehow was in my room,, in the company of a fully grown lioness, and one of her enormous paws, lay across my chest! but such is the way of dreams.
I was pinned down, and i knew i was at her mercy, fully aware of her power, and also that my life was in the laps of the gods/godesses.
I could hear her heartbeat, it sounded calm,and steady, and i didn't want to do anything that may change this. i wanted to scream for help, but was terrified that this may stir her into action. Her breathing sounded relaxed, and i hoped these sounds were signs that she was calm, and hopefully not hungry.
After what seemed like an eternity, but was probably only a few minutes, she shifted a little, as i felt her enormous body weight cover my right arm, and part of my body. i considered, that if i tried to move, and wriggle free, she may attack, so i decided, and i knew it was probably futile, to quietly call for help, whilst gently stroking her huge paw, hoping to keep her calm, knowing that at any moment, with little effort on her part, could quite simply, and quite literally, bite off my head! But my immediate concern, was that her body weight, was going to crush me.
I was completely at her mercy, and totally powerless, and terrified, that i was about to be mauled! And then the maddest desperate thought, that the lion would suddenly speak to me, and say "welcome to Narnia!"
Thankfully i woke up, i was sweating a little, and my right aim was hurting more than usual, but i was alive, and unmauled, or eaten!
