Dream

I was confined in a large area that had an inside area and an outside area. The inside area was al white and had a bathroom and a living space but it was very bland and there wasn’t much to do, there was a small workout space but there was no equipment. The outside was under a glass dome and it was a circle with some grass and trees. I didn’t feel like myself in the dream, it felt like I was someone else and I was called by a different name. I don’t know if it was a name or a number or object but it wasn’t my name. I felt like a lab rat. I had never been outside of this cage place, people would only come in and that were usually scientists or a women who was called my mom. I think she was the reason I was put in there. I was miserable and unhappy as the girl locked up, but my subconscious mind was watching this like the dream it was so I didnt actually have these emotions. The mom lady comes in and takes me for a walk around the outside part of my cage and talks about things like responsibility and power which makes the girl I am annoyed. She takes me indoors to one of the rooms and makes me play a game and I lose. She makes me play more little games and she all has tricks up her sleeve for them so I can never win and we play by her rules. She says I’ll never go out into the real world if I can never learn and that there are dangerous people that want to use me out there. I get frustrated saying that the mom is the most dangerous one to me and I shouldn’t be kept here. She is very sly and watches me when I don’t know it and analyzes my behaviors and patterns to have control. She uses her powers on me to make me go into a daze and follow her every word and action.When I am in the daze I “love” her. Then after a while she will return me to normally and I’ll be too exhausted to think or do anything. When she eventually leaves and I’m left in my extravagant prison, I walk around some of the rooms. It’s all white walls or glass. I can’t see anything outside only inside, and I don’t know where the door is. The people call different days by colors which assosiate how the day was. I told myself there has never been a maroon day which was going to be the day I escape, but I was going to make it happen. I see the sunlight and it’s a bright day and there are cleaning ladies that come in to clean the rooms so I am kicked outside. My indoor area is locked up so I’m stuck outside but I go and pester them through the chain fences that surround the places. The indoor area is elevated too so I’m looking up. I try to get in an area that is left open but they close it saying I can’t come in. They call me “your majesty” and I don’t say anything I just run to another area that might be open. There are 3 ladies working and they start yelling at each other to close all openings. So I run and I see some random hole in the chains that I’d have to jump up a concrete block to reach but I pass it going to another open door. None of the ladies seem to notice the small opening so I bring there attention to the door since it’s hard to get to each opening from the other one really quickly while inside. Once I see the ladies are far enough where I want them I quickly cut back and sprint towards the small opening. And I struggle to get up the concrete block but I make it before the ladies can push me out. I see them panic through a window looking from where they were to me. I smiled and felt very mischievous for what I was doing. I felt a little bad for the ladies since they would take the blame for my escape but in no way was that going to stop me. I keep running through my indoor area looking for the place they would’ve come in and I don’t find it but I find a gap in the wall and a new area on the outside so I squeeze myself through it and I’m in a new room and then I opened the door out of the room and it’s an indoor gymnasium with a bunch of people playing tennis or basketball and I see a door across the ways. I here yelling behind me and I know now security is about to be called and I need to get out quickly. I smile because it’s my very first maroon day and it’s one I created that they will remember for years. I’m sprinting across the gym taking the most direct path to the door which meant jumping over people lounging on the ground or pushing aside some tall guys playing basketball. I open the doors and I have to sprint through another court inside the gymnasium but after I do that there’s grey doors with an exit sign and I think subconsciously about how someone would write about this situation if it were in a book (I do this a lot in real life if I’m going somewhere). I run out of these grey doors and I’m in the back of the building which is really tall and white. I’m outside for the first time and it’s this parking lot with trees on the left side. I haven’t heard the alarms go off so either security is slow or they don’t want to alarm all the people inside the gym. I hop onto a car and just run on all the hoods of the car until I have cleared the parking lot. I look to my right after hearing some noise and it’s the mom, an older man, a guy my age, and three girls wearing some white robe. The mom and older man tell the people my age to go after me and that I need to be captured. He also said that it would be easier since I didn’t know how to talk to people and was really socially and emotionally unsmart from being alone my whole life. Subconsciously I laughed because the girl I was in the dream had the actual me in her who actually had being socially and emotional smart as my strengths in real life. I knew I wouldn’t trust many people though in the dream. I couldn’t go back now since I was caught so I run towards an open grass field and I’m just sprinting to lose track. They all have some sort of powers that they are trying to shoot me down with and they are orange. I have some white power that has some other color that I use to boost my speed and ability to jump. I’m running into highways and jumping over cars to get away. I take some turns that I hope would lose the male following me, I don’t know where the females went. I’m running a lot time until I get to this giant white wall of air that extends further than I can see. There’s a small circle that has more transparent air but it says beyond that point is for intermediate people referencing how skilled you are with powers. I immediately go in and it’s like the normal world but slightly more dangerous. It’s just the guy following me and he’s yelling at me to turn back and that I can still fix things. He seemed relatively close to me and like he would be a friend or love interest in the future if this was a movie. He had brown fluffy hair and brown eyes, and I thought he was relatively attractive but I was gonna run away. I’m still running and it’s a little easier to lose the guy, but then the 3 girls show up and I see another white wall of some air particle but if I go in this one it’s for experts only and I’ve never really used my powers so I’ll be in a lot of danger. The girls all have blond hair and brown or blue eyes. They seemed like workers of whatever agency had me locked up with their plane white dress gowns. I almost go past the wall but quickly cut back and go through the transparent circle because it was worth the danger to try to get rid of the girls. It’s very distopian once I enter this area. There was no one around except trees and large white buildings that were half broken. I think there are monsters and demons in here but I didn’t see any of them while in the dream. There are these big white buildings with a lot of glass areas. The girls eyes turn orange and they are using these beams of powers against me that I barely dodge. Some things are to trip me up and to capture me but this one was to put me under a spell of their control. It was one that my mom figure would use on me so I particularly didn’t like that spell. I use my own powers to boost me forward enough that I enter a building and I go through lots of doors. As I was running the guy and these girls were putting little red flags on the ground to track where we were which was annoying because I would have to continuously move to finally get away. Me and the girls go through and building and I lead them into a new building that’s bigger and I’m going to try to lose them in this building. I go in and out the other side of some small rooms and then I circle back to areas that they already went through because they would try to look in new areas. I finally at one point got them turned around after I used some controlling powers on them. It put them in a daze for about a minute and their bodies glowed. As they were going around a room, I was slowly just mirroring their move on the other side of the wall so that they didn’t ever see me but I knew where they were. They were annoyed when they finally gave up and called up the old man who came really quickly. He was definitely experienced and he said to them to keep searching this area and backup would be coming. I almost got caught a few times when I was trying to peak at them from out of the corner wall I was using as a shield of vision. I would have to get on the move when they were gone and go a new direction. The dream ended as I almost got caught when the opened a door, but I hid between the wall and the door as it opened and then slipped out before it could close after they all walked in the sciency looking room. It was very risky.

Escape
Prison

Dream

i was in this holding cell sort of thing, looked very modern and clean. but i was at a testing site that was used by the government. citizens that were caught by them were used for testing. me and my little boy got caught, along with his father figure. i don’t recall having any relations with this man, besides my kid calling him his dad. anyways i planned an escape for the 3 of us, we would all hold onto each other and just make a run through it in a maze. the pathway was really skinny, and below it was a huge fall. if you missed a step, or slipped, you fell and died. so the 3 of us decided to make a run for it. i was in the front, my kid in the middle, and his dad in the back of the line. i remember the walkway being white, made out of smooth marble or something, it was very shiny. there were no walls, so it was just running on this skinny tight line thing that was a maze, and a huge black void underneath us. i remember us ‘testers’ dressed in white. we wore white t-shirts and white pants. not jeans, just regular pants like sweatpants or something. i remember running with the 3 of us holding onto each others hands for dear life, trying to not slip and fall, with the staff dressed in gray uniforms chasing us with guns. i saw the big concrete doors closing to the exit, i grabbed onto what i thought was my sons clothes, and i said “HOLD ON GUYS! WE ALMOST MADE IT!”. i did a home run slide through the walls closing in, and i laid there for a second, then got up and celebrated jumping up and down saying “WE MADE IT! I CANT BELIEVE WE MADE IT!” and i was so confused why no one else was cheering, its cause no one else made it through the walls. i looked down in my hand, and it was my sons carabiner. i held it tightly and shed a tear. “fuck.. i’m sorry guys.” i said. later in the dream i remember coming back with a group of people i turned myself to, since everyone i knew was in the governments hands, and we were going back to break into the testing site to get my son back. i don’t remember much of this, but i remember still holding onto my sons gray carabiner the entire time, not letting go of it or letting anyone else touch it. i remember climbing over the wall, punching security, etc etc to get back to them, but i don’t remember seeing them ever again before i woke up.

Dream

I was abord the enterprise. I was just starting out there. I did some most boring task. When I wad done with the task I went to a place that was like a restaurant and just sat down. Guyana sat next to me and ask if I was OK because I was much quiet then usual. I just said I'm good then I told her what I would like l. She just smiled at me and said "good choice." I was looking on my iPad and saw nothing but kitty cat. This one kitty cat stood out and started talking and meowing. It grew out some spider legs. It stopped along the way then there was a bunch of kitty for a train on train tracks. There was some caterpillar kitty 😺. I looked up and saw commander riker sitting across from me. I was just asking how was his wife dieana and the kids. He seem like he was lost in his thoughts. I just thought to my self mabey he's just anxious about his oldest being sick. I asking if he's ok. He nodded yes and I asked how was his day. He just said it was fine. I was like he seems a little off but I didn't think too much about it. I just looked on an other movie slectition. I just saw president Donald trump involved a high speed chase. It seems like for hours. Eventually he was caught and found guilty and went to prison. Then he turned into a kitty cat 🐈‍⬛ 🐱. He was meowing and crying 😢. He was like let me out but some of the imates love him. I looked up and saw Riker turned into a caveman. He was just grunt and pound on his chest. I just kept looking on my iPad. I start to eat and look up he was eating some of it from my plate I just shrug. His table manner left to be desired. When I finish I looked up and saw many people turned to primitive animals. I was freaking out because I realized that it was like for real. He was grunting rasing his hand towards me. I just ran so fast I was underneath the table to hide from him. I was turning to some form of dog cat hybrid. Eventually he came and petted me repeatedly as if I was a dog or a kitty cat. I for some reason like being petted by this primitive person I left this and went down the hallways I smell all different kinds of sent. I saw the delving of the ships crew. This primitive Ricker was grunting and look into the fishbowl with amazingly. I was like a kitty cat trying to figure out how to get the fish. I couldn't do it. I just ran away from him. He let out an angry yell. When catches up to me I was sitting down on the floor just panting heavily. He just seemed happy to keep on petting me. I gave out this weird cross between a woof and meowing. I wag my tail to express that I wad happy. He didn't say much besides some grunting and hand gesture. He just seem like he was pretty much content as long as I let him pet me.
