The Dream Thread

[Brittany]

I dreamed I was some sort of were-creature. I think I turned into some sort of wild dog instead of a wolf. I'm not sure I ever actually saw myself in that form. My mother had raised me far away from the city, because if the government found out you could change, they would take you away to an "academy." I had never had any trouble with my transformations and had in fact spent more time in dog form than in human form.

My mother wanted me to get married, and so she had a young man who also turned into a dog brought to me, along with his two brothers. I was a little disturbed because we were all related, but they said it wasn't through blood. Something like they were the children of so-and-so's second wife, who had been brought in after he divorced his first wife. And I think I was supposed to pick which one of them I wanted to marry. Some other people came with them, too, who were supposed to help with all the arrangements.

I don't remember a lot of the actual "courtship", but in the end I ended up getting with one of the brothers, and instead of just having sex we merged into one being. All of the were-people had numbers that told how strong they were, and when we merged our numbers combined and we got a higher score.

It turned out two of the helpers that had come were secretly government agents, and they took me from my family and sent me to the academy, which I realized was more like a prison. There were hundreds, if not thousands of other were-people there. One guy was a were-dragon, and I actually watched him change, and it was really awesome to look at. There were also two were-tigers that seemed to want to start trouble.

If you were violent or had attitude problems or anything like that, you would have to wear a colored bracelet to warn the staff. I got very mad at one of the men who had brought me in (who looked suspiciously like Eddie Murphy), because he had forgotten who I was within the span of a day. I started going off about the conditions of the place, and how unfair it was, and how he obviously didn't care about anyone there if he couldn't even remember me from 24 hours ago. I called him an "a******" and a woman was like "you'll have to wear a bracelet for that." and I was like "f*** it. I don't care." So they made me wear a bright pink bracelet.

After that I started talking to the other man who had brought me in, and he was just being really sarcastic and kind of creepy, touching my face and stuff. At that moment, both of the tiger people started going psycho, running around and eating people, and everyone else started screaming and running around and it was complete pandemonium.

I realized everyone was just running around the one big room, but there were exit doors, and I'm like "Why is no one taking the exits?" I knew I would probably get in trouble if I left the room unsupervised, but when I compared that with being eaten alive by a mad half-tiger, I decided to take my chances. I ran out a side door and was running through the hallways of this huge place, and one of the tiger people saw me and started chasing me, but I hid in a bathroom and lost him.

I realized I had hidden in the men's room, and a guy walked up to the door of the stall while I was gasping for breath from running so much and asked if everything was okay, and I was like "I'm taking a dump!" in a deep voice, so he turned around and left. After that I snuck into the women's room. I realized I really needed to go to the bathroom, but, as often happens in dreams when I need to pee, I couldn't actually go. Then another girl walked into the same stall and started trying to use the bathroom as well and I'm like "Uh...okay, I guess privacy doesn't exist in this place."

After that some guards found me, but when I explained what happened they weren't mad, just glad I was safe. Suddenly everyone was being a lot nicer and the place didn't seem so bad. Then I woke up.
