Orangutan

I have no idea how or why this came about, but last night I dreamt I was an orangutan. I was in a field, not dissimilar from my grandparent's front yard, and I knew I had to get to a refuge in Borneo. I was pulling myself along a three-wired, non-electrified fence, grasping the middle wire, when suddenly I was spotted and some scientist / keeper woman with red hair spotted me. Two or three men took hold of me, and she approached with a syringe of tranquilizer to put me under. However, I decided the serum would have no affect on me, that I was no ordinary orangutan and had an immunity to it. She stuck me in the behind, and it barely hurt. I went limp and someone said, "he's asleep," and they proceeded to carry me inside, where they gave me an examination, and then put me in a cage. Later I got out, and I was making my way through a house, trying to find the way out. The lady appeared and asked me something (i forget what, exactly), to which I replied, "no." She did not react surprised, but with imagery of planet-of-the-apes running through my mind, she said something to the effect that I shouldn't speak, lest someone come to take me away, or something like that. After that, I went into a mostly empty room with a splintery wooden floor, and two matching wooden beams supporting the ceiling. I was puffed up, strutting through and intimidating the smaller primates that were there. Then there were two babies, tiny, tiny things I could hold in the palm of my hand, and I did in fact. I kept having an urge to kill them for some reason, but I managed to resist it. Then one of the babies disappeared. I closed the main door to keep it from getting out and possibly getting hurt, and started to look for it. I saw it hiding in what I can only describe as a large metal drawer-slat. The lady was there, also looking for it, and i pointed repeatedly, grunting, "uh uh uh." It seemed a little more familiar, the baby monkey disappeared again, and apparently went around the corner of what had once been my brother's bedroom during my high school years, and up the stairs into what was my own bedroom. I followed, and found a curious device, almost something like an iphone. The tiny monkey was inside of it, and with an electronic buzzing sound and a flash of light, it disappeared. I knew I had to go after it, as it had been set to.. drat, I no longer remember, but it was an area in from the game "Everquest" called "The Grey," a lifeless, and airless zone where things died pretty quickly without special means of breathing. The teleporter pad was apparently on some sort of a cycle, not unlike some from a couple star-trek episodes, original and next gen., and for some reason it bore football helmet icons. The lady started coming up the stairs, so i ended up just pressing it, and i wound up teleported to a football stadium, on the field, in the middle of a game. But I was an ape, and I quickly bowled over the other other team, scoring three touchdowns. Then I must have found a large glass punch bowl, which I wore as a helmet. Some how sensing the finale, the sequence changed so I would also have a defensive play, and I think I sacked the quarterback before waking up and thinking what a weird dream that was..
