The Puzzle of the Buffalo

THIS dream.
   I am walking through a tunnel between the streets.  Air as thick
as my misconceptions of life.  The gutters are gone but my fears
fulfill the deed. 
   A passing light of brilliant orbs dazzle me then I am walking
across a cache of weapons and I see my feet amongst others.
  The wolves’ den.
"Who are you?"  One asks.
  I am a dream walker.
"Are you crazy?" asks another.
No.  I am here for reasons unknown.
  "Kill him." says the one with shifty eyes.
Why would you wish this? 
"He's a pig."
No.
  "Bro, do you have buffalos running around within
your head?"
  Yes.
"Let him go."
I love you all and please learn from this:  if you
do all that is told then you are not living a brilliant
life as you can.
And the buffalos will trample you one soon day.
I wake up.
