I was living in a wilderness cabin with animals in a weird isolated setting -like it was rundown and I had been separate from society for years, had a bunch of old food groceries there. I had a stealthy and nervous attitude knowing I had to hide for some reason. I roamed around outside my house in a beautiful hilly forest area in the snow, exploring it. I think I was trying to animal shift but could not get it to happen. Soon I spotted in the distance a human driving rounds patrolling around on an ATV. I tried to evade it and retracted my path, stealthily back to my cabin, but failed and he pursued me. I put on a persona of being an innocent person and opened the door, meeting a normal looking adult human- he acted friendly but I sensed intense ominousness about the situation where we were both putting on false personas. We spent a long time talking where he kept asking me questions, acting like a random friendly stranger but trying to get info out of me for some reason -- I kept making up excuses trying to hide my real identity, making up a story about a fake husband I had who was living in a different state; as I was doing it I felt stressed trying to keep the facts together and worried he might sus me. After awhile, he left and I was left nervous.. dream fades out here into next scenes
Somehow I had been found out and captured by government agents (For unknown reasons being therian i guess?), and sent to a maximum security prison. I saw parts of it vividly- walking through huge concrete hallways of crowds, looking up at eye bleeding halos of fluorescent rectangle lights, some of them arranged in a star-pattern like the eyes of evil angels glaring down to judge the condemned. However I took this lightheartedly at first and jumped around, exclaiming that I "immediately accept my fate and will not be sad about it!!" (This turned out unsurprisingly false). I was put in a huge cafeteria like area with crowds milling around, and some time passed as the reality of my situation set in - somehow I was aware I would be stuck in that room for at least a few years. I began to get nervous and sad inside and tried to find ways out and overthink everything, wondering if there was some way I could pawsibly escape or call to get bailed out. Also at somepoint I vaguely saw a brief incident where someone poofed into an animal and ran away, this being treated as a weird accident and not thought about.
Soon I found Rin(pawfriend) in the prison room with me, sitting in a windowed corner looking over the yard.. they were oddly serene and undisturbed, vibing out to musics. I talked to them briefly and they urged me to try to accept everything and relax but I was unable to do this. I ended up in a sleeping pile on the floor with all the prisoners stuffed together in one room laying uncomfortably, and started crying really hard and hiding my feelings from everyone because I was shy, but no one cared. Afterwards I got up and found a run-down looking payphone and activated it, which I saw consumed all the money I had on a prison credit card. I tried to leave a message to my mom begging for help or to be let out somehow, but the phone didn't work, and only replayed a default message . It was an older man talking to me (I assumed prison warden) and reciting a bunch of facts about what happened, explaining I was imprisoned for years, maybe talking about me in third person.. it filled me with more dread and I left. For some reason I had in my head the idea that I was supposed to leave and be transferred to a different prison (I think warden mentioned it in message); this gave me a tiny hope I clung to , wondering if I might have a chance to escape during the trip -- internally I debated if I should do this because it would likely fail and just add even more years to the sentence. I remembered they mentioned multiple prisons and one that was a "large dome" which I imagined might be better for me, being a nature area..
I realized that they were indeed going to move me to another prison, and outside a small group of guards called me down and out of the main room. I was very nervous and hugged Rin goodbye, realizing I would not see them again and very sad about that.. I rushed to meet the guards and be escorted down some roads. We were in a heavily fenced area with extremely high chainlink fences with wire, inescapable, with dense forest and long roads beyond them.. we walked along this road for a time as I kept thinking about escaping but so no opportunity.
Soon myself and two guards arrived at a new area which was of a surprisingly total different theme - walking up the dark road my view was filled by a gigantic old-looking wooden mansion, densely piled up rooms like 10 floors and looking like a huge magic castle or haunted house of some sort, and it struck me as enchanting and welcomeing despite its ominous appearance - it was wholly abandoned looking and purely dark inside, imagined to be like a gigantic cave complex of wooden tunnels. I then noticed in the courtyard in front of it were two small rustic-looking wood country homes, spaced evenly out on the sides -- sitting on the patio of the right home casually was what appeared to be a giant 3-headed cat, which I saw for only a split second before my attention was drawn to the guards. The whole thing still had an ominous haunted air about it but also a type of excitemnet that resulted from it. I suddenly noticed the two guards were adult women who gave me the impression of being witches. Upon realizing this everything connected in my mind and I exclaimed happily out loud, "You're going to turn me into an animal! :D"
The two women reacted with identical expressions of shock and nervousness, glancing between eachother, and this confirmed in my mind it was the truth. I yapped at them a bit more about how it was okay and I already suspected it would happen, and also they may wish to hide their emotions better because it was very easy to guess -- they seemed unperturbed and I think continued on. In my mind I had the impression there were loads of 'victims' in the mansion who for whatever reason had been turned to animals, and that I had been also selected for this.. dream faded out to waking at this point before conversation could continue.

Not turned into animal yet but closest I have gotten.. metaphorical dream adventure about escaping human prison world and being rescued by witches coven ??
I think actually they were nice and working as disguised guards / double agents helping me escape the government by redirecting me to the mansion instead of the assigned new prison.. and intending to animal TF me to help erase my human identity & danger of being captured… I imagine they were surprised at how thrilled I was over the whole idea.. hehe
I will be reflecting on this a lot and trying to revisit there.. I wonder what is in the mansion..
