Dream Diary, January 30th 2023.

This is what I think...
Had two memorable dreams last night/this morning, first was modern fantasy and the second was sci-fi.
1. I and a handful of friends were part of some group that hunted spirits, monsters, and demons.
Sort of like the show Supernatural but not quite as dystopian or far gone, we somehow got wrapped up in an incident that brought us
to what was either hell or some kind of demonic realm at least, though there were more Greek mythology themes than Christian.
Our group was caught in a trap set by the lord of the realm we ended up in, some kind of demon/dragon woman.
I narrowly avoided capture, and began planning to free my friends from seemed to be some type of magical interrogation machines.
While trying to free them I ended up cornered by Big Bad, who again seemed to be more a Hades than Satan kind of figure.
I recall making some kind of attempt at intimidation by revealing that I was in fact not entirely human, that I had celestial blood.
That was when it was revealed that the Big Bad had a weakness, or maybe more accurately as "thing" for divine entities...
She let down her guard enough that I was able to start to get to know her, and ended up realizing that she wasn't exactly a villain.
More "Morally Ambiguous" than anything, and that we, a group of armed strangers, had shown up causing trouble, so they stuck back.
The dream ended shortly after we came to an understanding and my teammates were in the process of being set free.

There were some random mixed up blurs of dreams in between, along with waking up a couple times before the second memorable and final dream.

2. It was a sort of "near future" setting, aliens having made contact with Earth, and a budding branch of the government sort like a young Star Trek organization.
Unlike Star Trek or Mass Effect, most of the aliens were not recoloured humans, from the perspective of the dream, the majority were various anthro races.
On that line of thought, I was either supposed to be an alien myself, or at least a human who had undergone genetic modification, as I was in fact a tiger man.
There were also others of course, but they kind of blended in with the background, I recall robots or maybe full robotic races as well as the more generic aliens.
I was part of a class, or otherwise group going through training to join the fleet, we were to go through an advanced routine using some kind of simulator
that was like something right out of Star Trek for how perfect it looked, we were going up against one of the more violent races we knew about out in space.
I recall being on defences, shields and the like, a lot shouting, a lot of panic, in the end we won but barely, while the simulation was wrapping up, something odd happened though.
I was standing further back, trying to calm down, flipping a lucky coin between my fingers to try and relieve stress, when someone entered the bridge.
Now, it's important to know that for this simulation, with exception to our class and the instructor, everyone else onboard was part of the simulation, with limited A.I
for running things in the background just like on a real ship, and it is for this reason that both I and someone else who had stepped away from the celebrations were confused.
The person who walked onto the bridge stopped after only a little ways into the room, they were also a tiger person, though their fur was a different pattern and colourization.
After a moment of watching them I realized they were also female, a young woman maybe in her early 20's, while I was supposed to be in my late 20's in the dream.
What confused us, was that she turned to look at me while I was looking at her, she was twirling something in her right hand, which I quickly clocked as being
a coin, the very same lucky coin I was holding in my left hand, there was a sudden feeling that ran through me, almost like a shock, with a brief moment of insight.
This woman, despite all possibility, was in fact my daughter, who wasn't even born yet...
I remember a rush of emotions, surprise, joy, concern, pride...
All I could muster was an informal salute, raising my fist to chest height, and giving two solid thumps, all the while keeping eye contact.
She returned the "salute" and wore a smile, then continued her route onto the bridge, the simulation ending shortly after.
The guy who had also seen this exchange walked over to me and voiced his confusion, saying something along the lines of "I thought there was only one Admin with us?".
I kept my realization to myself, and simply confirmed that I was also very confused about that fact.
Later, I was walking down one of the many sterile hallways at what I can only assume was an academy of some kind, I was carrying files or paperwork.
I walked past a doorway that was only open by just a hair and hear voices, it was late and I heard something about the simulation, so I stopped and listened.
I could just barely see who was in the room, or at least one of the people in the room, of which there seemed to be two, the one I could see was a woman.
She seemed to be some kind of canine race, looked a lot like an Afghan Hound with overly groomed hair and fur, I recall recognizing them as being someone
important regarding the organization we were a part of, the conversation seemed somewhat heated.
They were talking about the simulation and that a small number of students or even instructors had somehow realized what was going on, that the simulation was
in fact somehow a view of future events rather than purely fictional, which to me made sense given the exchange and moment of insight I'd shared with my future daughter.
I decided it might be best to leave but fumbled with my documents as I walked away, while frantically trying to gather them I heard the woman's tone change as well get slightly
louder, as if she'd heard me and had turned to look at the door, saying that those who involved with the situation would be dealt with shortly.
Then I woke up while still trying to grab my things and run.
In retrospect, I feel like the woman wasn't being hostile, just stern, and I only read it as danger in the moment, if that makes sense?
