My dreams are cinematic.

(I just awoke from this following dream)

This man works for a drug company, he is more of a lab tech, not very high up in the scheme of things. The owner of the company calls him into his office to tell him he is going to join a top secret project he has been working on. The owner tells him that he must be swore to secrecy and that if he accepted he would one of the most important men in history. The man is confused, why would they select him over some of the other scientist that work for the drug company. The owner said that they did not share his dream and that he felt as though the lab tech would truly understand what he was trying to do. Hesitant the lab tech asked what the project was, but the owner only asked him if he would join again. The lab tech agreed.


There were two other men working on the project with the owner. Both were the most brilliant scientist the lab tech had every met. The scientists call the lab tech "8". Eight was confused, but they informed him that he was the eighth member of the project, so they it only made sense. Eight began asking the other scientist ago the owner. they knew very little about him and told 8 it would be better if he did as well.

Eight's work was little less than testing samples and collecting data. Very little had changed outside of the size of his paycheck, the size and location of the lab he worked in and the occasional nose bleed from the dry air. The owner would come by to see how things were going three times a day, once at 9 a.m., once at 12 p.m. and finally at 4:30 p.m. Eight rarely saw the other two scientists, only when they needed him to run a test or collect the data.

During one of his tests he was to calculate cell replication, so that is what he did. Upon collecting the data the two other scientists probed 8. They were shocked by his discovery, they made him retest the samples 5 times to make sure it yielded the same results. Since 8 did not know the initial cell count of the samples he received, he could not imagine the fantastic nature of the results, but this made him curious.

It seemed that the other two scientists would always come and go from a door that was located within his newly acquired lab. This door was not the primary entry to the lab from the hall. The door was locked.

Eight asked the owner about the results during a 12 p.m. visit. The owner was hesitant, seemly debating in his head what, or how much, he wanted to tell 8. The owner called in the other two scientists. They decided they would tell 8 what he was working on.

The three showed eight into the next room, the previously locked room, but before entering the owner made 8 remember the vow of secrecy he had taken. The room 8 entered was no so dissimilar to the one they had just left, with the exception of the population of lab rats. Eight was less than shocked.

The owner described his vision of future, without disease and war, a Utopian vision.

(Long story short, sorry to ruin the ending, but I am running out of time before I must work)

It turns out that the owner was actually producing chemical weapons AND he was working on cloning humans that would be immune to these weapons, along with diseases that commonly kill humans today. Upon finding out about this eight was also told that he was one of the clones that the owner was experimenting on. During the time in his lab they would fill the room with the chemical weapons that they had been working on. He was actually the eighth clone they had produced for this purpose and all was looking well that he would be the perfect model.

(this isn't quite the way it happened in the dream. there was more of a power struggle between the scientist over the cloning. one of the scientists took the main character under his wing and showed him that he was actually able to clone people-though he was only cloning himself and the other scientists, while they were still trying to clone monkeys. one day he came to find the scientist turned his back on him and all three were locking him out of meetings. this is when he stumbled on the fact that there were multiple copies of the scientists, but the personalities were flipped around.)
