This was a parallel
universe where animals ruled the earth and humans were like the lower race to
be used as slaves and assistants. The animals walked and talked just like
humans but kept all of their animalistic features. Imagine Giraffes, Rhinos and
Elephants wearing suits and white lab coats and are able to magically hold
objects without the use of thumbs. The Dream took place in a research centre
where humans were the main and preferred test subject. And I was a test
subject. What’s interesting in this Dream is that this might be the first time
that my Persona is a man.
I was a young adult
male and the only reason I’ve survived this long in the research centre is
because I was one of their most valuable experiments. I was a human hybrid with
the abilities of most animals combined, by reforming my genetic make-up with
that of other species. Basically I was BeastBoy, just without the
shape-shifting powers. The researchers thought that giving me special treatment
could keep me complacent, isolating me from other humans and treating me as
tenderly and humanely as possible. But I was intelligent enough to catch onto
what kind of world I was kept in.
The Dream started
with me already in the middle of my escape. The centre was not yet alerted of
my escape but a Rhino guard had caught me and was chasing me down. I dashed
into an empty laboratory with lots of metal shelves and cupboards full of
equipment. The room was dark and the Rhino had poor eyesight but had acute
sense of hearing. As I clambered onto the tallest cupboard, I sat still so by
the time he reached the lab, he was quite lost but he knew I was there and he
would wait till I made a move before ramming that gigantic horn into me (I was
a valuable test subject but the Rhino has been wanting to pick a bone with me
for while apparently and if they found that I’d been disobedient, they’d have
labelled me as too dangerous and put me down anyway).
So I grabbed the
metal shelf closest to me and one filled with lots of glass and metal equipment
and pushed it down. It crashed into the next shelf, creating a domino effect
and if the collapse of shelves onto the Rhino didn’t stop him, the loud crashes
of glass and metal on the marble floor did. The lab was in such a chaotic
ruckus, it hurt his sensitive ears and he couldn’t locate where I was. I made
my move. Parts of the centre like the laboratories were separated by drywall
that didn’t really touch the ceiling and it had ample space for me to climb and
get around. The walls were high enough (or I was stealthy enough) for me not to
be seen by the researchers below.
But the others heard
the crash and were heading this way, and soon the centre would be on high
alert. I had to get out fast. I ended up in another room, where there were
Impala and Giraffe scientists working. The moment they saw me, they screamed
and ran out of the room. I wanted to climb down and hide somewhere, or maybe
thought that it’d be faster running on foot. But the moment I climbed down to a
desk, a Hyena and African Wild Dog guard cornered me. I had to fight them off
using nothing but my brute strength, and the closest thing I grabbed to use as
a weapon was a large bag filled with heavy powder, like flour. I swung and hit
one guard in the head and I proceeded to beat both the guards to death before I
ran out of the room.
Unfortunately that was the end to the Dream. I don’t know whether I
escaped safely or not but the chase was getting too tense for me, I was kind of
glad I woke up. I don’t like Dreams where you’re being chased but at the same
time sometimes I’m curious to know what happens when you get caught. But in
this Dream, I wasn’t too awfully curious to find out.
