Dream: coyote hunting
Wow, this is the craziest dream I've had in a while...
It started with me wandering around a field. As I wandered I encountered packs of dogs from the neighborhood all getting ready for something. Intuition told me they were hunting & I scanned the environment for the prey. Towards the middle of the field there were 3 scrawny coyotes, which were obviously prey to be. Being found of wildlife I ran towards the coyotes to scare them away, which worked, however, there was another small pack which thought I was attacking and they targeted me. As the one pack escaped the hunting dogs promptly caught up to them and massacred them before turning towards those targeting me. The few attacking me weren't really a threat. They would kind of lunge at me, but it was like their mouths were sewn shut and they kind of flopped on me & I would knee them away. Eventually the dogs came and killed the remaining coyotes. The last thing I remember from this part was waking up in my bed with some markings on my arm.
I did some research and tracked the markings down to an insane asylum in some foreign country. Confused by my rather unnatural experience with the coyotes I wanted to find the connection so I went. Inside the asylum I started talking to a rather mellow person, explaining the coyotes, then talking about how there was something odd with the situation. This was apparently the wrong thing to say as they committed me to the asylum. This did give me the opportunity to hear the story of the old man. Essentially for the last 400 years or so human have been trying to wipe out certain populations of animals as some overwhelming sacrifice to release some ancient god (or something like this I don't remember exactly). The slaughter of the buffalo, the reduction of the eagles, the extinction of the dodo bird were all related to some desired purpose some underground organization was trying to accomplish.
After a period I don't remember, I was out of the asylum (assuming some great escape sequence like in 12 Monkeys). This point I don't remember as well. It involved me tracking down the members of this organization trying to kill off the animals to kill them. Apparently the members didn't only kill animals but experimented with them as well, including stuff like giving octopus tentacles to dogs and such. The animals in the area were very feral and aggressive, trained by the organization for protection, so I stuck mainly to indoors. At some point there was an encounter between me and a few of the heads, which left us all scrambling to kill the other party. I ended up outside and face to face with a white wolf/dog which would have attacked me but I used my shaman practices to talk with it and it realized I wasn't an enemy. Together with the wolf/dog we stormed the place again. The last bit I remember is holding a gun to a small group who were laughing at me that I couldn't take them all out on my own, then me smiling and opening the door where the wolf was behind and the look on the groups face.
