“It is as though you have an eye
That sees all forms
But does not see itself.
This is how your mind is.
Its light penetrates everywhere
And engulfs everything,
So why does it not know itself?”

This is messed up but it was a totally awesome dream. My writing sucks and it's all over the place.
Mutant ladies trying to hide in forest use camouflaged tent (like dad's motorcycle tent) that perfectly blends in with surroundings. Fools the militant people in the forest. Not a densely packed forest.
Winds begin to blow. Women are worried it might blow the flaps around the base of the tent and all reach for the poles (structure of tent). A mighty wind blows the tent up into the air!
At first, panic, oh no oh no what do we do! Then realization that the tent is flying and a simple manoeuvre of “flapping” the tent will keep it airborne. The ladies are free to fly!
They fly up and away from the forest, over a mountain and down into a densely forested area, along a river until the reach an area of clay houses, densely packed clay houses. This is when the ruling military (or whatever it is) begins to take notice of them. They're able to get away along the clay house city, which is built on the sides of a mountain range that falls directly to the sea.
They continue to fly, flying over a modern, but just as packed city. Eventually flying over vast amounts of training grounds belonging to monks. One of the ladies guides the tent to fly over a certain area on the other side of a mountain to see if her old training grounds are still used by her old master. They are! She cries in relief and joy.
On wards they continue, having lost one of their numbers. She is back in the modern, packed city being interrogated by a large, fierce looking woman (sort of along the lines of the principal in Matilda), and another woman. Something is said about bearing children and ugliness and the other woman says “It didn't stop me!” indicating that she is ugly and has had children.
Continues on, it is dusk, they've flown into a futuristic city-sea landscape. There are now military planes circling them. A POV of the other side of a bridge shows military HQ. Large, metal tubes with dragon heads on the end, hundreds of feet high extend from the building, there are roughly 3 of them. POV goes back to our heroes. They get shot down! The military believes them dead but in all reality they are under the water, using the pipes from the tent to breath and no one suspects anything.
