Dreaming my dream

A very interesting things happened last night while I was sleeping. In the dream that happened while I was sort of awake, two animated things popped up into my head. And those two objects happened to be a: Lion and an Automobile. These two objects really surprised me by the way they relate to each other and make up something I've been thinking about a long time. I'm not telling y'all what exactly surprised me, but it has something to do with the letters.
