Harsh Future

Ugh! I wish I remembered more of the dream! It was incredibly intense. People were on the run. I was leading a couple of kids to somewhere safe. I started out in a vehicle, but searches were being made. Men on motorcycles were even looking under them for stowaways. We had to abandon our car and zigzag through a city on foot. We saw some people we were close to but had been separated from. The man shook his head “no”, when I spotted him inside a building through large windows. I took it to mean it wasn’t safe to approach him. But, I guess, I wanted a closer look. As I approached an entrance, “bees” started chasing me. Only, I knew them to actually be drones. I dragged the 2 kids behind me as I raced through doors, hoping to lose the drones. We startled a bunch of diners then jumped through (what looked to be) long, slender windows. We approached a car, thinking it had our members inside. Instead of a friendly face, I saw a person who had been burned to death. At some point, I met up with part of our group. The enemy was closing in on us though. A teen lead us onto a parked bus. He got behind the wheel then plowed through a barricade. That’s where coherency ends. Snippets I recall are people bleeding from their eyes... pet birds... a fish like creature which held its young in its mouth yet he accidentally ate one of them. ... a group meeting of the “Elite”.
