Hi Cala—
They say that whenever you're in a fight, you want to choose your weapons carefully. I think the dinosaur bone was just the right tool for those jerks who were laughing at you!
After a long and costly divorce, you are in the process of "rebuilding" your life. Your dream represents your struggle to create a new "foundation" by showing you in charge of constructing a new building. The job is challenging, and at times you worry the building will topple over. It doesn't fall though -- and this dream shows us what an able "builder" you really are.
It is always important to consider how we respond to challenges presented to us in dreams. For example, when you notice the wall out of alignment, you do not call for someone else to help you fix it, nor do you passively wait for the wall to collapse. To the contrary, you crawl beneath the wall and quickly identify the problem, then immediately give instructions for its repair. Similarly, when you hear the hecklers laughing, you are not intimidated, nor do you idly suffer their insults. If it weren't for those two guard dogs, those hecklers would have been dinosaur soup!
Your dream shows that you are responsible (that's response-able), intelligent, and direct. Any business would be fortunate to have such a capable person on board. I am confident your full-time job, and your career change if you want it, are both within easy reach.
The attack dogs most likely represent the lawyers, in addition to the stress you already feel -- physical, emotional, financial -- during this difficult rebuilding period. Lawyers like to brag about being like "attack dogs" when they defend their clients, and they like to "take people's heads off." They are expensive, but no one would advise you to proceed without one.
A bit of anger -- well, okay, maybe a lot (after all, it was a dinosaur bone!) -- towards men, especially, is implied. This is natural enough in the wake of broken relationship, but you are too able a person to waste energy here. Your solid foundation will empower you to meet all of today's, and tomorrow's, challenges.
