Title
It is unknown what this scene was called by the filming crew. It was titled 96 EXT PARK DAWN in the Jurassic Park Film Script. The scene is called (until further information is revealed) here My Friend Brachiosaur Scene, named after the title of its background music track My Friend, The Brachiosaurus (see Jurassic Park (Film Score)).

Music
The music of music track My Friend, The Brachiosaurus starts at the beginning of this scene.

Opening
The script introduces the scene like this:

''The sun comes up over Jurassic Park. The danger of the night before is overcome by the sheer beauty of the place - - it really is like the. Over at the edge of a great open field, a huge tree marks the border between the open area and the thick of the jungle.''

But in the actual film just the tree from A Tree For My Bed is shot. This time there is a little more day light, indicating that it is early in the morning; near dawn.

Both kids now curled up under Grant's arms, Grant appears to sleep too. That would contradict Grant's promise to keep watch all night. Therefore the script says he was "only a little bit asleep".

Brachiosaurus
A Brachiosaur head starts feeding on the leafs near the group. Grant it first awaken by the noise, then Lex, Tim is the last.

Sneeze
When Lex finally dares to pet the creature, it retreats its head. Lex tentatively edges forward in the tree to reach the creature. "Come on, girl. Come on up here, girl. Come on." Then the dinosaur SNEEZES right onto Lex. Lex is frozen with horror, dripping wet from head to toe.

In the script the dinosaur had to sneeze because Lex "barely touches the thing on the tip of its nose".

In 2011 Ariana Richards (actress who played Lex) was asked by 'Peter' what the 'sneeze' was made of. She answered: "I don't really wanna know what was in that" (see video).
