I have a special, high frequency air-horn to drive off the wild tyrannosaurs, which is only partially effective. My own dinosaur-steed keeps trying to eat the fallen cattle.

My suggestions to management that we stop shooting the cows in the open grasslands, and instead corral them into chutes falls on deaf ears, and I am continually dispatched, on the back of a dinosaur, to shoot cows.

The worst part? This is a recurring dream.

I had an issue with a recurring dream. I probably had the same dream for 15 years, until I figured out what was causing it. I haven't had the dream since. I actually posted about it 4 years ago here, as I was so excited that I wasn't going insane.

I also remembered that I loved it.

Well, years passed, and and I forgot about it. About a 15 years ago, I started having dreams about this movie, but I didn't understand them and I would awake up in the middle of the night from having one of these dreams, and try and google/search imdb for this movie, and figure out what it was to no avail. The search Flying / key / face / melt / chimney resulted in no hit of any substance. Seemed too bizarre to be real, how can a flying key do all this? Was this dream just a grand illusion, or a figment of my childhood imagination? I asked people, and no body seemed to remember any movie like this, but the dreams never stopped.

Well last night I had the dream again about this key, and in the dream I was wearing 3D glasses. I woke up at 4 in the morining, and recalled the dream, and it hit me. I added 3D to my search results, and up came an obscure 1983 movie called 'The treasure of the four crowns'. Then it all came back, it was a 3D movie played on 2&7 and you had to adjust the colors on your TV all wonky, and go buy a set of 3D galsses at Mac's or Mr. Soft Drink to watch it. I honestly felt a total moment of relief, accomplishment and peace once I figured out the name of this movie that has been haunting my mind for 25 years.

Here is a clip, and if this isn't the most gratuitous exploitation of 3D, I do not know what is, this is the Count Floyd level of 3D:
