Visualizing the Lizards....

The heads of the lizards were shaped like this, with the nose being the point of the shield:

The head was about 2 feet wide, and about 6 inches deep, once the lizards stopped expanding.

Growing up in Florida, we called these anoles "chameleons."  The lizards in my dream had the bodies, legs, feet and tails of anoles - but they were 6-feet long.

In my crazy dream, the lizards had a living, pulsating mane of bright scarlet and neon blue, that looked kind of like this Butzbach sea anemone.  The mane started on top of the head, between the eyes, and ran down the neck and back to the shoulders of the lizards....

Weird, I know.
