Dream Diary, May 17th 2019.

This is what I think...
Had a movie like dream, very cinematic. Was a horror/thriller kind of thing with drama?
It all took place out over the ocean on what was either a platform like structure or just a really big boat.
Some kind of military instillation or at least I assume it wasn't private, given the presence of a battleship.
Seemed to be protected waters with some kind of perimeter set up, nothing gets in or out that shouldn't.
I was part of a research and development team responsible for creating and breading a new bio-weapon.
They were lizard like creatures with claws and bipedal locomotion, in hindsight they looked like Deathclaws from Fallout.
There was the previous generation that were still very feral and needed to has chips implanted so they could be controlled,
while the current generation that I was specifically onboard for helping with was a single juvenile specimen with
a much higher intelligence as part of an experiment to see which was the better end product.
A creature that had to be under constant control and security as it was a threat to anyone around it otherwise,
or something approaching primate like levels that could be not only trained but educated more like a soldier.
There was definitely a level of parental like pride when handling the creature, though I do remember at one
point reflexively balling up my hands instead of waving my fingers about when they came up to me so as
not to "excite" their predatory nature as I was well aware what they were capable of even if young.
(a name came to me after waking up, so let's call the little one Helena from here on)
I swear I remember Helena somehow learning to speak, or at least vocalize something resembling words.
There was of course the horror/thriller/drama I spoke of in the form of an "accident" that basically
freed the previous test generation from their control during an exorcise in the water.
There seemed to be more than that going on though as chaos ensued rather quickly with a freaking
aircraft carrier or battleship somehow sinking, I feel like it was sabotage à la Jurassic Park where
someone realized how much money they could make selling these creatures to the highest bidder.
It all went about as well as any JP film does, this time being stalked by Deathclaws rather than raptors...
There was also some kind of underwater creature scene with what looked and was even described by
one of the characters as "a freaking huge eel thing!" that was chasing a submersible,
it cut away to something else as the creatures jaws were crushing into the cabin.
Some people were trying to evacuate via helicopter, the head researcher was among them.
They were gaining altitude when the engine cut out and the craft started free falling for a few seconds,
someone lost their footing and fell out and slipped past the rotors, then the engines kicked back in
and as the helicopter slowed it's fall he then fell back into the now active rotors creating a horror show.
The now damage rotors sent the copter into the waters bellow as people panicked, I think it was around
then that the camera view was underwater with the characters that they saw the escort ship sinking?
After seeing people scrambling for something to hold onto the dream cut away again, this time back
to the woman in the sub now laying on her back in some cavernous space.
She was barely alive and in an almost alien looking environment with random stuff thrown about,
there were seemingly dead specimens, the only conclusion was that this was inside the giant eel thing.
There was light from either recent craft that were swallowed like the sub or maybe even some bio-luminescence?
Two of the specimens started moving groggily, eyed her then each other and started fighting, I assume over food?
Another cut away to me and Helena back in the lab environment, I remember the scene being oddly creepy somehow
through either the general tone thus-far or soundtrack, and a looming sense of dread of course like
something was going to happen very soon that would ruin the happy'esk atmosphere.
It was around then that I woke up, it was also then that the name Helena came to mind as my half awake brain started firing back up.
