Escape the watery city (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I am on the open deck of a boat with a group of men - somewhere near but to the side of the leaders. We are on the way back to our secret safe harbour after working on an important mission. Everyone is weary and glad for the break.
As we near our destination I look ahead and see the gates to our safe harbour. As I watch I see red eyes in the shadowy figures behind the gates. I think "That's strange". I continue watching the shadowy figures while the ritual to open the gate was performed and the gates open. 'So it must be alright.' As no-one else was alarmed or worried. As our boat silently glides through the gates the shadowy figures appear to wear helmets. That wasn't right - but it was too late.

Scene change

We are in a room - large, dark, cavernous. The whole group is here. We are prisoners, but no-one is alarmed or upset. The others are in groups talking quietly. I stand by more an observer than an participant. I felt also emotionally attached, but still in the scene somehow.
While I wonder how we could get out of there a man detached himself from the leader's group approaching me. Saying "no problem. You know how to use explosives?" I confirm that cautiously, but start to wonder what I would have to do. He eases my mind by saying that I just have to help him with the explosives when it was time.

Scene change

We are on a small cruise boat, beneath a huge square hole. He moves up there, disappears shortly then is back. I throw a package up to him. Then a long double cable appears - falling from the hole into the cargo area inside the boat. I watch it coiling - making sure it doesn't get tangled. It consists of a thick main cable of dark orange and a thinner parallel cable of a lighter metall colour. He sees me looking at the cable and nods - this is useful when the cable has to be used again".
As he slowly climds down I move the boat by hand along the quay - using the metal rail. At the corner to the main canal he joins me and we are on our way. We cruise unobstrusively through the city - avoiding patrols. Then we heara message to the patrols that the rental no. 81??? was not classified as dangerous anymore. I asked him if they meant us. He just says "might be".
There is still the feeling that we have to get away.

Scene change

We are in a hall (looks like in an airport or something similar huge) and want to leave to the outside world. But he wants to make sure nobody will follow us anytime soon. His idea is to make them close down the building due to a contagious disease. The exit is through the shop on the left. His plan was to act as if he is sick, then leave. After that they should recognise this contagious disease he supposedly carried and seal off all exits. I think it sounds stupid and was sceptical regarding the success. He still goes through with it.
We enter the shop. I walk towards the end/ the exits, but he lags behind. I meet my sister in the back of the shop. She asks me where he is and I point towards the entrance. I tell her in a whisper what he plans to do.
When he shows up he looks like a bad actor (don't know which one but one I don't like to watch, his presence started to fade) He can't really pull it off - as he doesn't want to appear to sick to be allowed to leave through the exit, but sick enough that the others soon see the seriousness of the matter.
I turn to look at a plant close to me and see a bird. It looks at me and seemed tame enough. Then it moves to another plant severing a leaf from it eating it. Then it is back to the first plant. I look at my sister who says "Watch it, it is sneaky - appearing to sleep but watching all around it". As I turn back my mom sits there with her eyes almost closed. Watching everything around her through the slids of her eyes. Smiling slightly (humorously) as she hears what my sister says.
My sister and I wanted to put the animal back into its terrarium. I feel it on my back. My sister takes it and we put it into a small wicker basket. Then we push the small basket into the terrarium through a slit at its front. Another that was already in the terr. wants to escape. We stop it. The new arrival starts to nibble on the bars. I think "hey, just like a hamster. And I look at it and it is a very tiny grey dwarf hamster - and not a bird as I thought.
She was busy elsewhere so I look around at the other terrariums and cages. In the bottom row way to the left and angular to the room I see a badly kept terrarium kept together by wire with sides made of plastic that moved when touched. In it are a bunny, a guinea pig and several hamsters (bigger ones). I ask when the place was cleaned the last time and she becomes extremely defensive. The belong to her and everything is fine with them. I look at the animals - especially the hamsters - and they have dull pinkish/red eyes and brownish/grey fur with dark ends.
I wanted to have a specific one - this one with distinctive colouring, but I didn't seem to be able to look away from the other sad specimen. They didn't try to escape and they didn't bite as I held my finger in front of their noses.

Then my alarm clock went off. I remained in bed for another twenty minutes - mainly to try to remember as many aspects of the dream as possible.
