Dream log: Thursday, 4/12/2014

Summary: High tech facility, futuristic, felt like it wasn't too far in the future.  Furries, I was a changeling disguised as a human, mysterious experiments and forms of research, radiation.

I was on a tour of a special facility with new forms of technology, mostly showing off new devices and forms of energy production.  At some point during a break in the tour or after the tour, I was wandering around the lobby area and looking around at the building, which was primarily made with smooth, curved architecture, most of which was glass windows or white material, with very small amounts of silver, grey, and light blue.  Most of the colour was lighter shades when colours other than white, and colours other than those three were extremely rare.  While I was wandering around, something happened that set off an alarm and security and various scientists started ushering everyone out of the main lobby area.  Most of the people from the tour left the building, though I went to examine some elevators and doors that were guarded with keycard sliders.  I was quickly guided away from them by security, and I went another direction instead.  I took advantage of the alarm's distraction and went up some stairs that were unguarded.  I found myself on a large, open floor with many others, all of which were furry creatures of some sort, and all of which were working on computers, though I couldn't tell what exactly they were doing.  One of them nearest to the staircase stood out to me particularly much, a fox of some sort with a lot of varied colour.  I wasn't sure if she was a silver fox or a red fox, and I think she might have been something in between.  There were two others that stood out too, one of which was a silver fox and the other I can't remember.  My dream skips and becomes fuzzy here, and all I know is that something happened to the red/silver hybrid, and I left, though I knew I had to do something because the entire place felt "off" to me.  I was walking away from the building, when a voice in my head told me "You are a changeling, you can do something", and I realized what I had to do.  I returned to the building, being careful to avoid the security, and I returned to the floor with all the computers.  On the way, I found a moment when I wasn't seen by anyone, and I changed my form to match the red/silver fox's form.  When I returned to the floor, I did my best to pass as the fox, but I realized I had none of her memories or experience, so while I looked the same, I didn't know what I was doing and I didn't know anybody else there.  This almost caused some problems, but for the most part, the mistakes and confusion were ignored.  After a short while, I realized I was simply not capable of taking her place, and I made an excuse to leave again and left the building once more.  As I was walking away, I felt a "rush" of energy and thought, and my vision blacked out as a series of memories and thoughts and feelings ran rapidly through my mind, along with a strange feeling of a presence near me or within me.  The rush of information only lasted for a moment, but once it finished, I felt that presence again and had the impression of a female voice telling me something, though it was not audible, and was instead more of a feeling.  It was as though the voice were telling me I could complete my goal, continue with what I set out to do.  I suspect the voice was hers, and I suspect she might have died, then found me to give the memories to.  As soon as the voice finished "speaking" to me, I rushed back to the building to return to the floor.  At this point, the sun was setting and various employees were leaving the building, though most of them left from the other side.  It is still beyond me how I was not noticed leaving or returning to the building.  I took my place at the computer and started working again, this time with the memories and experience I had gained.  I was able to talk to the others and interact normally now, and I was asked what had happened by the other two that had stood out to me before.  I realized they were her friends, and I told them I could not remember what had happened.  They were concerned, but eventually returned to what they had been doing before.  As the evening went on, it started to get dark, and the various others on the floor shut down their computers and went off to sleep.  Everyone from this floor had rooms on upper floors, and none ever left the building.  My room was on the same floor as the one we had been working on, as well as one of my friends.  The other friend was one floor above us, though she would sometimes come down to see us or we would go up to see her.  We all talked and spent a little time together that night, and then we slept.

The next morning, I woke up and went to get breakfast, which was provided by the facility.  I had some simple food along with some coffee, and I went to walk around and stretch my legs a little before we had to start working again.  While I was walking around a little, I saw my friends again, and they were heading downstairs for something.  I went to follow them, but one of our supervisors stopped me and told me I couldn't go down there, or I would get very sick and it simply wasn't safe.  I looked back to my friends, who were with a couple of others, and I noticed they were going toward the area marked off as a danger zone, with various warnings about radiation.  I was confused and concerned, but I knew better than to inquire further.  On her request, I talked to the woman that had stopped me from following them, and she asked me how I was liking the place.  I said it was pleasant, and I had a couple of friends there that helped me when I felt stuck on a project.  She looked sharply at me when I mentioned them, and asked how often we talked.  I told her how we talk and work with each other on projects while we are working, keeping everything going smoothly and efficiently, and she relaxed a little.  I mentioned that we would sometimes go over details and work out the best plan of action for our work the next day, talking about it after the work day had ended.  She looked sharply at me again and asked how often we did that, and I told her it wasn't often, just occasionally at night, when we would visit each others' rooms and talk about it before returning and sleeping.  She looked upset, concerned, and possibly angry when I mentioned this, and suggested that I should not do so any longer.  She went to one of the keycard protected elevators and went inside after that.  I continued walking around and eventually went to boot up my computer to get ready to work, and the dream ended shortly after that, as the others started showing up to resume working themselves.

Some odd information appeared in my mind just before the dream ended, informing me of a prophecy of some sort involving two of the individuals and them having a child, which would destroy the facility's goals and possibly the facility itself.  There was a single individual that I could not get much information about who was controlling the entire thing, and the facility's "off" feeling that I kept getting was because the facility had some very dark goals and intentions, though what exactly I do not know.  They were doing their best to prevent the prophecy from occurring and had all of us working on something, though we did not know what exactly.  Most of the others, if any of them at all, did not have any suspicion of any of this, and did not seem to think this was any more than just some basic work.  I also realized that give or take some very specific other individuals, only those that were working on the computers on that floor were furry, and everyone else in the building were human, including those that came in via tours.  I suspect that most of the world was human, and there were very few furries at all.
