Double-post of weirdness! I had a weird dream that I must share!
So! I'm a scientist in hiding from the government, after many of my colleagues turned up "missing" since the development of a nasty new chemical. I was chief in that development and had designed the formula itself. My notes were destroyed, but I kept all the information in my brain, and for some reason, my team and I were targeted for elimination due to this project.
As I was hiding out in a group home, I happened upon one of my former colleagues. We realized that we'd need to go back into hiding because government agents were after us. He was surprised that despite my handicap (my character had cerebral palsy), I lasted so long after the rest of our team "disappeared."
Then, the owner of the group home realized who we were and attacked us. He came after me with a garden rake and said that if I don't leave town, he'll kill me because my presence will cause government agents to descend upon the house and flush out other renegades who were hiding there.
So, I leave and eventually join up with another group of political refugees as we're trying to make our way out of town. The rest of the dream was just a drawn-out chase scene.
Then, the focus shifts to a penal colony where my scientist character was locked up. An ovoid craft crashed outside the colony, and the prison's staff tried to get inside of it, but couldn't find a door. So, they cracked open the top of the craft and found a gelatinous green-gray substance covering the interior. The substance shrank into a large globule once exposed to air, and the dead occupants were found. The team takes the globule and through whatever plot contrivance, I end up with a fist-size piece of it, which I try to protect from the other inmates.
The inmates know about this stuff and want to eat it because it gives them a high and psychic powers or something. Another group were possessed by the globule and started creating poisoned versions of it which they planned to use to kill the rest of the general population.
Somehow I end up with one of the guards and he is trying to get information from me about the piece I have. We happen upon some of the poisoned globules and he's about to touch them and I tell him not to, as they're a potent poison. Then, a riot breaks out between the possessed inmates, giant cave rats, and the guards, and I'm caught in the middle of the crossfire.
As I lay on the ground, I look to the globule I had and it starts pulsating. It extrudes tendrils that go into my flesh and come out of my skin in little wormy strings as it covers me in a large green-gray gelatinous mass, which protects me from the riot.
After the riot is controlled, the mass reverts back to its small globule form and I realize that it's alive (sort of) and because I protected it from the rest of the inmates, it decided to protect me from danger.
I try to tell the guards that I know what it is and why it was found in the craft. It was a shield for the craft and it was trying to protect the occupants of the craft from the crash, but the force was too much. The guards question how I know this, since knowledge of the craft and its occupants were kept hidden from the inmates.
I don't quite remember the rest, but there you go. Conspiracy, SCIENCE, the Colour Out of Space on a prison planet, and body horror combined with the power of friendship.
...what the hell did I eat last night?
