That colour... as big of a deal at the time, (if not bigger than) the computer animation of "living" creatures in Jurassic Park was back in the 90s.

Here we are! And for /u/Foublanc too. I added a description based on what I remember from the conversation I had with the artist in 2004.
Cat dreaming of dragons https://imgur.com/gallery/oR7W9pH
>The artist (hard to make out, but i think it's Nik Maxwell) told me he painted this when he was in a difficult relationship. He's on the right, a skeleton on the sidelines with half his face missing. His girlfriend dominates the frame and has her own demon sucking the life out of her (obsession with her appearance). His cat is sleeping on the bed, dreaming of being the dragons above and below.

Yes and yes. It's just an A6 print, but I'll take a photo when I get home tonight and tag you in the response :)

20 years ago I bought a painting from a street market that featured a cat dreaming about being a dragon. Is this some kind of subconsciously shared knowledge?!

Yeah the practical effects really helped sell the digital effects, but the shots that really created awe in the audience were the wide shots like the brachiosaur reaching for the treetops at the start, the t-rex chasing the jeep, and the finale with the raptors and the t-rex. Those would have looked real janky with practical, but digital fx made us believe it could be real.
