Far future

[WayOutThere]

I had a vivid dream many years ago as real as any memory. I had been unconscious in suspended animation on an interstellar spaceship - hundreds if not thousands of years from now, but instead of waking up, I was having brief flashes and sensations as various parts of my brain were activated. I slowly became aware that aliens were probing my brain, like a rat in an experiment. They were not going to wake up me up but simply study, and dissect?, this bizarre lifeform they found on the spaceship they had intercepted. The flashes of activity were disconnected and non-contextualized, like the experiences of infants, but one vision I remember I was laying in a vat surrounded by several aliens - they were "misshapen", like large gray octopi.
