Power Out

Date: 12/3/2016

I was walking to school with a couple of friends, which is weird because I never walk to school (I never would be able to in real life because I live very far away from my school). We walked up the big hill and got to the entrance, but when we tried to go in, no one was there. We were all confused because it was past the time that school starts. We looked back and there was a small restaurant in the school yard. I said we should all go get bagels. The only people around us were the guys working at the restaurant, and one of them started saying something about his car being stolen. Then buses and more people started to show up at the school. I don't know where the information came from, but we all learned that there was a burglary going on in the school right now. The burglars had cut the power in the whole school to make it harder for anyone to find them, but for some reason the power was out in the whole town. The school supplied everyone with tiny black lights, like the ones you'd have one a keychain (I have no idea why) and we were all told to run. I was with my little brother, his best friend, my mom, and some other people I don't remember. Also at this point it was pitch black night even though I got to school in the morning. We ran away from the school and into another part of town. (My town in the dream was actual parts of my town, just looking slightly different and all in the wrong places.) Somehow we ended up in this crawlspace. I someone said that there was 25 of us down there. It was extremely dark in here, much darker than the rest of town, and one girl in front of us had a real flashlight (we only had the tiny black light). She soon walked far out of view, and then we only had our tiny black light as a source of light. We started crawling around in the darkness of the tunnels, which seemingly had no beginning or end. A little while passed, and then I counted the people with us. There were only 5 of us, and it didn't make sense because 25 people went in. Nobody could find my mom. Then, she appeared out of the darkness...but it wasn't her. It was this very convincing but yet horrifying wax sculpture of her. Her uncannily glossy hand shot at me, and I made a run for it. I ran all the way out of the dark crawl space, and for some reason there was a car parked directly on the wall on the other side with the door open, so I had to crawl through the car and exit out the back door. Once I got out, I started running through the dark town trying to find a place to go for safety. I don't remember any other dream where I ran so fast or had so much adrenaline pumping. I woke up with my heart still beating.
