The Dream of January 21 2014

The Dream of January 21, 2014

This is quite a strange dream I had. It’s a bit difficult to describe because it involves elements that I haven’t had much experience with, so please bear with me.

It started with me as my jaguar character ( fav.me/d28ld37 ), but I don’t think I had the shirt or jewelry. I was also with a friend, though I don’t recall if he was also a furry character or if he was a human.

We were in this…complex. It was yellow/cream/beige in color, and the architecture was a mix of Roman, Egyptian, and perhaps Babylonian, reminiscent of some adventure video games that have popped up as of late.

My friend and I were running for our lives. I’m not sure why, but we appeared to be slaves of some sort. We then entered what looked like a spa, complete with pools, Jacuzzis, and an occasional ornamental fountain and waterfall. The large windows indicated that it was around noon.

He, joking around, said that he was going to go into one of the pools (they were all empty), and perhaps like that he would be able to fool everyone else into thinking that he wasn’t a slave, but a landowner, and from there he would plot his subsequent escape from wherever we were.

I told him that it was a stupid idea and that he would have to shower first before entering any of the pools, though looking at ourselves, we weren’t that filthy to begin with. Still, he agreed with me and we left the spa.

Our run took us into a supply closet, where we found elegant tunics, and even a full size head mask of the Egyptian god Ra (a hawk head with very realistic feathers). So my friend put on the mask and we decided that he would be one of “Ra’s representatives” and I would be his assistant, with my new tunic, of course.

We walked out and tried to appear “normal” and “nonchalant”, as if we were meant to be walking around the corridors of this…temple/complex/palace. We turned a corner and saw about 100…women, I think, all human, or humanoid, and perhaps several furry females, but I couldn’t stare to find out because we were supposed to be “on their side” and doing business as usual in this place.

The women appeared to be…well, part of the staff of whatever this place was. They had attire somewhat Amazonish, or, at least, attire appropriate for being priestess, or whatever job they had here.

As we walked past them, with us looking straight ahead, one of them turned and asked to a woman beside her, “Does something seem suspicious to you?”

“No, why do you ask?”

That seemed to be enough for her, so she ignored us, and eventually we left them behind as we turned into another corner.

Eventually we ended up with what looked to be one of the entrances. Not the main entrance, since it didn’t seem that large, but more like a side entrance; it resembled the side entrances of a typical convention center: it was composed of three glass doors which lead to a garden, and it was nighttime already, for some reason.

There were about 20 others there (non-slave), some human, some furry, and apparently one soldier/official who was trying to calm them down because they were all waiting for the doors to open.

“Calm down!” he said. “There is no danger anywhere, the doors will open on schedule, so you will all have to wait!”

Thinking fast, I turned a bit and said (trying to make it seem like I wasn’t speaking), “But the monsters are loose! We must escape before they get here!”

That alarmed everyone, of course, including the guard, who replied something like, “If they got loose, the rest of the guard will contain them! Now calm down and wait!”

Wouldn’t you know it, not 1 minute after I said that, several…well, I’m going to say “monsters” because they all appeared to be rampant velociraptors or something similar…turned the corner and started advancing toward us.

Right there I saw a spear on the floor, and quickly picked it up. Using the butt end, I managed to pry one of the doors open, which for some reason had its glass shattered, and my friend and I finally ran out without anyone noticing because they were all busy trying to run from the velociraptors.

Once that was done, I think my friend decided to keep the Ra head, and we ran away from the building toward the garden, which was lit by electric lights.

We went over a wall that led to another lit garden on a lower level and decided to run away from the lights so that we wouldn’t be spotted.

And that’s when I woke up, sadly.
