Dream 9 - The Escape Mission

August 21, 2022

It was early morning, and I found myself captured by men in black, along with many others. My capture was intentional—I was sent on a mission to rescue people from human trafficking, especially the children. We were taken to a distant island, where a massive floating building sat near the shore. The building had nearly impenetrable security, with cameras and patrolling robots everywhere, making any attempt to escape incredibly risky. Around me, people were crying, and we were held in a large, open field that looked like a baseball court.

I knew I had to act fast. I managed to cut the ropes binding my hands and feet, my body drenched in sweat as I worked carefully to avoid detection by the robots. I waited for the perfect moment, and then, using my ability to fly, I took off into the night, hidden in the darkness. But before I could escape completely, a man in black spotted me, forcing me into a fight. I dodged swiftly, moving both in the air and on the ground, avoiding capture even from the robots. I destroyed the security cameras and other surveillance equipment so they couldn't monitor my moves, and then I led the captives to follow me.

We moved into a large, semi-forested area, but soon found ourselves trapped—surrounded by the men in black and robots, with no clear way out. I decided to escape alone, flying into the sky. Strangely, the men in black didn't pursue me; they just watched me go. As I soared above, I could see the entire island and the floating building below. In the distance, I spotted lights flickering from a big city, full of towering buildings.

While flying, I was startled by the faint sound of a baby crying. I opened my bag and, to my surprise, found a baby inside. Realizing that the baby must have been brought along in the chaos, I stopped to land on a rooftop, wrapping my jacket around the baby to keep it warm. Holding the baby close to my chest, I continued flying, looking down at the bustling city below, where people seemed as tiny as ants.

Suddenly, the dream shifted. I was inside a large building, wandering among unfamiliar people, still holding the baby. The men in black were searching for me, so I disguised myself as a woman to slip past them. One of them noticed me, and as they began to chase, I ran to the building's exit and took off into the sky just in time.

Then, my dream changed again. I was now a nanny, feeding a young boy outdoors. I tasted the food as I fed him, but his mother saw me and became furious, forcefully feeding me the rest of the baby's food.
