I have dreams frequently, they are very vivid and often to abstract to put into any coherent context. HOWEVER! while I was camping (I still am camping but I'm taking refuge for an hour at a Starbucks before roughing it again) while i was camping I had one of my coherent dreams and so it stuck with me and i thought i would share it. It was one of those running away dreams, where no matter how much you run and no matter where you hide they will find you. Call me crazy but these are my favorite kind of dreams, i find them incredibly stressful and immensely fun. i shall a sign all the characters names for in a dream of mine everyone just omnipotently knows each other. Naturally i shall embellish...

It was an underground operation. I had no gym membership, no bank account, no birthday, no name, no identity at all to speak of, in short (as they say in the movies) i didn't exist. I lived in a hospital (or was it a prison?) I worked there... as a guinea pig. Don't worry it wasn't that kind of dream, I was a humanoid, however they were injecting me, the men in white lab coats, with needles. First they would inject an orange liquid filled needle and then a green one. As they did this i struggled to remember how i got there. Then i fell back asleep into my hospital bed. I didn't have a dream within a dream, i woke what felt almost instantly but the men in the white lab coats were gone and the door was wide open. I walk out and some how wondered into the doctors office. There were charts in orange and green and from what i could decern from them i was being treated to be some super strength human. I went to confront the men in white coats and found them in the basement of the hospital that was like a dank medieval dungeon. they were discussing and conversing over an experiment of theirs.  The experiment were wolves, not normal wolves but creatures that were half man and half beast, and very very intelligent. What their purpose was i do not know but they weren't werewolves, there was no transforming during the full moon bit. The men in white coats told me to go back to bed for i had only the first treatment and there were many more to come and until i had all the treatments my superhuman strength would not be fully developed. I did as they said and went back to my room, but the wolves were plotting. In my dream all this happened in a moment and what happened next seem to go on forever. The wolves broke out of their prison and injected all of the orange and green needles into themselves. I realized what was happening and tried to leaves through the exiting doors, but they were locked. I tried the others. I walked faster and faster in earnest as i tried each exit and found them all locked. But i knew where to go. This had happened before. Don't ask me how i knew this i just did. last time they were stopped by shutting the power down. So i went into the electrician room that only employees were aloud to go in and started trying to unplug things. Some other guinea pig in the hospital had a similar idea as me and joined me in the room. During this i became sidetrack. i don't know what it was but I found the secret weapon and ever though i couldn't comprehend it, i knew it was important.  they only thing i knew about it was that it had something to do with cobwebs. Then me and the other guinea pig looked around and saw three janitors. They looked like normal janitors but we knew they were not human. We ran out the unlocked exit from the electrician room and across the mote outside that surrounded the hospital. We ran cross country through grassy fields with the janitors in hot pursuit. we ran a long time... the grass turned to desert and it felt like the janitors were gaining on us inch by inch. we then came to a ten foot fence in the middle of nowhere and climbed quickly over it and it hindered the janitors greatly but they were fast learners as my companion said and the next fence we came to was ripped right through by the janitors. But with the distance we had gained we had time to take refuge in a dark mansion with a tire swing and nothing but desert it every direction. There we found in the dark dark yet satiny inside a disco ship. In this dream world disco ships were normal things that were over begeweled and shaped like the base of an old lamp (or like a mushdroom) and they glided across the ground. We decided to put together a disco routine. The logic behind this was that, when the janitors would stop to watch us dance, in our marvelous costumes with lots of jewelry that it would inspired them to do the same and when the pursuit was picked up again they would forget about the jewelry and it would weigh them down. The logic sounded like to only option at the time. When the janitors burst into the mansion we put on a glamorous show. They did stop to watch us but the plan failed to inspire them to put on jewelry. We stopped for intermission and scuttled backstage where to our surprise, we ran into the queen of disco. Her disco ship was ten times bigger than ours and twice as glamorous (in a modest way) She asked what was going on and why we had summoned her with our dancing. we told her that we summoned her quite by accident and then described our plight. She told us to go and she would hold off the janitors while we escaped. We got into our crowded disco ship, in costume, and sped off. looking back we saw the battle was taking place in the dusty front yard. The disco queen's ship glided across the desert terrain like a starship battle cruiser firing its blaster cannons at will. Then i woke up.
