Scarlet Dreams III
This dream was pretty weird. I was with a bunch of other kids in a class like setting. I remember at least one girl who was as young as five. We had been gathered in what looked like a small hub. I got the feeling we were being kept there by someone. While there, people would sometimes bring out animals. A lot of the animals were livestock such as cows, horses, and pigs.
I somehow ended up being led around the house by some Native American like guy. I ended in a small parlor area off to the side of a kitchen. Whenever I went through the door of the kitchen I found a whole room packed with animals. Some of the animals made it out of the room and got to where I am. I remember at least one piglet snuffling around me and rolling around in my lap playfully, to the digust of the man that was there with me. Eventually they brought out a bull good sized horns. This naturally made me nervous so I (literarily) grabbed the bull by the horns and brought him back to the room of animals, asking one of the ladies who worked there not to release him again.
I was on the outside of this temple or hall. Standing there were two women. One, who gave off the impression of a Bayonetta-like dominatrix. She was talking the other woman, a tall blond with Wolverine claws who stood beside her. The second woman was creepy. While the other woman talked, the second one stood around idly letting out disgruntled animal-like huffs and hisses every time the other woman (I guess?) swatted in her gesticulations. At one point the huffy woman extended her saber claws, flipped out a cigarette, slashing something against the metallic sabers to spark the cigarette. As time progressed throughout the conversation, something happened to the clawed woman. She began to get taller, her face morphing into something less human and more catlike. This went on and on until she was this 7-8 foot tall giant leopard/human hybrid with gangly yet muscular limbs, a ragged, snarling muzzle and razor, shark-like teeth. It snarled and spat angrily at someone off camera.
However something else caught everyone's attention. Outside the temple-like structure were a group of guards. The wore dark blue leather and tall helmets that gave off a slightly Aquaman feel. One of them, their leader I assume, looked familiar with a goatee and a hardened, staring expression. Held by the guards, doubled over and in chains, was a man, their prisoner. What came next was a confusing flashback, that was probably "about" the leopard person. Except it turns out the leopard person was...Disney's Aladdin? I know I saw Aladdin looking pouty at one point.
In the present scene, the leopard person was looking upon this scene with the arrested man among the guards. It's snarling expression immediately subsided into a look of concern and confusion. I think it even spoke aloud something (I don't remember what) in a perfectly normal man's voice that had something to do with the futility of it all. So it started to transform again and turned into...the Batman. No seriously. And I'm talking about The Batman as in the Jackie Chan-looking cartoon with the famously bad character designs. The Batman shot his grappling hook all the way into the temple, vaulted over the balcony rail, and swung himself to the temple walls. Then he dove onto the adjacent walkway where the guards and the prisoners were. I'm not sure why he didn't just take the stairs that connected the court to the walkway.
Instead of putting up a fight, however, he seems to surrender. In fact he starts taking the bat suit off in front of everyone. Once he's stripped down to a simple white shirt and pants, he raises his hands and surrendered and gets calmly apprehended by the guards.
Like a couple of othe past dreams, the dream felt like a familiar world. In this vast, labyrinthine temple where some force must be expelled. The setting reminded me a lot of a high quality DC cartoon.
