9/1/19 Rainbow Road

I was in my neighborhood but also apparently in a video game. The villain of the game had released a gigantic rampaging beast to destroy the city: a pastel blue, chibi, long-necked dinosaur with a big pink bow on its head.
Very Mario-esque.
I wasn't powerful enough to fight it, but the whole community came together to try and take it down. However I wasn't confident in myself, so I fearfully ran away.
Down a quiet road, alongside a thick brush, I tread with a heavy weight of guilt on my heart. My whole neighborhood risking their lives while I try to hide in the plants. But before I became too downcast, something in the brush distracted me.
Among all of the green were a patch of bright teal leafs. It looked as if they were painted, but seemed as natural as the green leaves around them. I took out my iPod touch for a picture.
As I was trying different angles (the camera just wasn't picking up the colors well), I saw the dinosaur in the distance. My guilt returned, but I began to walk towards it.
I stopped at a higher end of the neighborhood where it began to not look like my neighborhood anymore. The road I walked ended at a cliff overlooking a vast bay. I could see the city in the distance, but not before the monster who was treading the water. I could also see everyone shooting at it from the distant shore as it stomped toward them.
What caught my attention most however was the rainbow. Like a pathway, a bright, sparkly, translucent rainbow road trailed from my road's end into the sky. It swooped over the bay and serpentined straight to the dinosaur.
Then I realized how to beat it.
The dinosaur itself left the rainbow, as it began on its head, trailed down its neck, back, and tail, and followed behind like tracks. It looked like a giant rainbow-coated paintbrush just descended from the sky and traced the top of the beast but didn't stop at the tail. So the idea was to run across the rainbow to its head and make an attack.
I stepped onto the glossy sky path and immediately felt excited. Never walking on a rainbow before, I pulled out my device to get a video. At this point, I knew it was a dream and that filming anything wouldn't actually convert over to my real iPod (shame), but it was fun to do it anyway.
I ran into the sky as the colors beneath my feet glittered and sang like tiny chimes. The dream ended with me running fast and jumping high along the long ribbon-like rainbow road to the gigantic looming dinosaur.
