Dodgy Part Of Town

Date: 11/20/2024

This was a short dream I had in the morning hours. My friend owned a shop and I decided to visit late at night. He had just returned and I could see he was in distress. After a brief conversation, I found out he got mugged and beaten up quite a bit. He was in a rush to pack a few things and leave as he was being followed, presumably by the same people who beat him up. I decided to go with him until he was safe. As we left his store, a woman approached us and informed us that people are coming for him and she would help us get out unnoticed. He was anxious to leave and immediately followed her. I was not, but didn't want to leave him. After following him, I immediately noticed someone else lurking in the shadows. It was a woman wielding a knife and I knew something bad was about to happen. This thought wasn't even cold in my mind when both of us got dragged to a nearby building. As soon as we entered, we were greeted by a long hallway. This was followed by a room which windows overlooked a courtyard. There were quite a few people sitting at tables. They had notebooks in front of them. It was clear we were heading there. Before we exited the room to the courtyard, we had to tip our kidnappers. This was rather absurd, but we valued our lives and tipped them with whatever we had (which wasn't much). After being led into the courtyard, it was clear we were gonna be sold. I immediately objected and was met with a gun to the head by one of the men leading the sale. Naturally my body went into shock. This was immediately alleviated by the sound of the firearm clicking. After that it clicked twice more and the sound from those reminded me of a toy gun. I immediately challenged them and their entire operation. The interaction was brief and in their panic they all tried to flee the building. My friend and I rushed out with the fleeing group and I managed to grab some of the tips that were left by everyone before us. I woke up shortly after leaving the building
