Dreamt that a friend and I were walking through a clearing in the woods around sunset, there was a small pond, crystal clear, you could see how soft the algae looked at the bottom and tadpoles and salamanders skittering back and forth between little pockets.
We walked passed but kept watching them, we got to a road to cross and suddenly all these bright orange newts were crawling out of these puddles and going right for the street while cars were coming. I started panicking and jumped into the puddle that was actually very deep and tried to collect the newts in the edge to bring them back in, my friend stood at the edge gathering whatever ones he could to get them back in the water.
Then I continued to have nightmares that all the animals were defending each other from humans and they were left without their mates and children.
