Dream: The dream started when I was driving in the dark. Something crossed my path really fast and scared me. But I wanted to know what it was so I turned around and went back. I saw that it was a giraffe. I decided to take it home and treated it as a pet along with my real life pet dog. Once I got home I fed the giraffe And my dog.
Later in the dream I was walking down an alleyway with shops and restaurants with friends who I did not recognize. I had my dog in the giraffe with me. Someone talked me into going into the bar and having one drink. While having that drink a random guy made a move on me. I left the bar and went outside to find my dog and pet giraffe. They both disappeared and ran off. I went to find them. I found them both in what I think is a animal shelter. The owner of the animal shelter gave me my dog back but refused to give me my giraffe.
I got upset and verbally fought with the owner about giving me back my giraffe. I went home with my dog only and decided to come back later to get my giraffe back. When I came back my giraffe was gone. The owner had taken it to another facility. That made me very mad and Sad. I went looking for the giraffes but never could get it back which made me feel sad and upset. Then I woke up
