#mutant lizard

I had a dream last night that I was in the car with my partner and two of my youngest sisters. We are all adults in real life, but in the dream, while the rest of us were the same ages we are now, my youngest sister was 4. We park the car after arriving at ?? and there is this bearded dragon sized crocodile looking lizard with a bunch of extra characteristics I have only seen in videogames where animals have mutated or something. The lizard-thing was right outside the passenger door, staring at the car expectantly. I knew it wanted in the car and was preparing to get out quickly so it wouldn’t get in the car. Despite my efforts, when I opened the door the lizard zoomed in. It climbed under my seat and into the back, climbing over my youngest sister, who is obviously freaking out. I tell her to be perfectly still so it won’t know that she is alive. She ends up moving anyway and as soon as it knows she is alive it curls up in her lap like a cat. Everything up to now has not been freaking me out, but my youngest sister is still freaking out. I ask my partner to grab the lizard, mostly because I am unsure of my ability to do it right, but my partner does not want to get involved with the lizard. I turn to my sister. She grabs the lizard and to my horror rips off it’s eyelashes and tries to give it to me as a souvenir. I refuse and because she finds this amusing she rips out a handful of its hair (which it didn’t have before now) and tries to touch me with it. The rest of the dream is a struggle of me trying to kick her in the face for doing this to the obviously peaceful lizard, and trying to avoid touching the hair she has removed from the poor thing. I woke up as (in the dream) I was hanging out the car door window, holding her wrists while she laughed at me, and trying to get at her face with my foot.
