Stallo, unless you were raised watching JP, there's VERY little chance it was a Raptor you saw, rather a monster you didn't know [as in an unrecognisable blob] that turned INTO a Raptor once you got a dino obcession. as for me: i can remember 2-3 VERY vivid dreams from my childhood [about 2-3 years old].
First one:
Im in my cot, in a familiar room with a white, decorated cieling, and brown carpet [I doubt that's how the room was, but that's how it was in the dream]. The walls are white, I'm standing in my cot, and the safety "door" on the side, is down. I look at the window, and see the tree outside in the garden. im looking at the branches at the top of the tree. and then...something starts covering the windows. something brown. Spiders. loads of them. hundreds of them. i back away, and climb off the cot, wanting to go outside and go to my mum. i start walking towards the door, and the light in the room starts to fade. looking back i see the window is COVERED in spiders, and they're starting to get in through a hole in the bugnet metal mesh covering the window. i run for the door, but find it wont open [whether it's because i cant reach the handle or the fact it's genuinely locked, i dont remember]. i start banging on the door, but then, the spiders start crawling towards me from the window, and coming through the keyhole. i panic........then i wake up screaming...
Second:
An entirely white room. you cant even see the angles where the floor and walls and cieling meet [think of The Matrix]. it's blindingly white. im staring, stunned, stuck, and unable to move, staring at a terrible scene in front of me. my parents. my family, all stuck in the same state as myself, being slowly swallowed up by a massive mashing that has two rolling pins made of steel and covered in spikes [think of the underside of a steamroller, or the rock crushers in Jaws Unleashed in the deep sea level. those are as close as they come]. slowly i see my family getting swallowed up, and im standing there, horrified and helpless, forced to watch the pain on their almost emotionless faces, their eyes the only thing showing their pain....and then, i wake up...screaming...
Third:
the same white room. completely featureless. i see my family standing in front of me, staring at me, their eyes showing horror and dismay, but otherwise emotionless. im slowly being swallowed up by something, the pain excruciating. but i cant even close my eyes and lock it away. slowly, i see what look like rotating teeth dragging me inward, and finally...darkness consumes me. i wake up, screaming.
the third is the same as the second, but with positions reversed. those were my first true nightmares....and the ones that are burned into my mind forever...
