This is the kind of stuff I used to hit snooze for, because in my sleep addled mind I thought it was really important that I "solve" it. I think those are usually just stress dreams.
I say "used to" because I leave my phone/alarm in another room now, so much harder to stay asleep after going to turn it off.
The right dinosaur has chaotic dreams that make no sense but is hiding it to seem normal. It took me a bit to realise what the lower left bit was, which did confuse me.
This was my interpretation as well. I frequently have weird abstract dreams, where I'm often not present or not involved, and the dreams sometimes don't involve people at all. The ones without people are weird and hard to explain. I assumed that's what the lower left panel is trying to show.
FWIW, I have both kinds of dreams. Some are Hollywood movie style plots and others are I'm doing mundane things in my house but things are weird and it takes me ages to realise something's off. In between are the dreams where I'm lost or trying to get somewhere but buildings' exteriors shift when I'm not looking and landmarks local to where I live end up showing up where they shouldn't.
And then there are the dreams where I find myself asking "what if there was third direction other than left and right?"
I've had dreams where I'm just going to school and dreams where my mother used a diving board off a medieval tower into a pit of spikes. Sometimes I'm lucid in the surreal ones and I can never control it. It's crazy stuff.
