I dreamt that I was walking along an underground aquarium of sorts. But instead of the typical fish there were strange creatures that swam in these huge tanks.
I remember being drawn to one tank in particular and inside was an alien being with the torso of a humanoid and a bottom sort of like a jellyfish or octopus but it looked more webbed. Then I recall seeing a man (maybe a military man?) swimming in same tank trying to get some sort of sample from the being. And like an octopus ready to fight it tried to wrap itself around the man but then there were a group of men with long electric rods poking the being. That puzzled me because why wasn’t the man in the water also get shocked?
Then the creature and man drifted to the bottom of the tank where I was at. I panicked because I didn’t know what to do to help but then I noticed an emergency sliding tray that could pull a person out from the bottom of the tank and I pressed it and sucked out both the creature, the man, and three other men with the rods. It looked like they had finally gotten the situation under control and as I turned to the creature to see if he was alright. He shape shifted into an ordinary looking man but his bottom half had detached and was still causing problems for the diver and the three men. Sort of like a lizard losing it’s tail and growing a new one later. But instead of another webbed bottom he had normal human legs. I was stunned and he was stunned.
Perhaps the reason I saw him as I did was because I knew he wasn’t just some animal in tank but an intelligent being, something that the military men didn’t see. I regained my composure and politely asked “Are you alright, sir?” He just stared at me and then nodded. Then he gave me a calculating look. I wasn’t sure what he was up to but then he lugged towards me and I grabbed an electric rod (similar to the ones the men used earlier) from the wall and shocked him in the lower left shin. He then fell backwards back into the water.
Then I ran because I realized I wasn’t suppose to be there. But as I ran I saw a screen which showed the merman in an isolation tank. There was a older military man staring at the being (I felt that he could see what I saw), it was almost as if they were talking telepathically with one another. At that realization I picked up a bit of their inner conversation…. “She knows about us but it isn’t the one we’ve been watching it’s a different girl.”
