Empty Stroller

Date: 1/11/2017

I dreamt that I was walking around the cities in the morning, everything was bright and I was happy. Then suddenly it was dark and I had a knife in my purse and I was scared. It didn't look like my city anymore. I didn't recognise any of it. I started reaching for my phone to call my mom as I turned around a corner and found myself in a long, dark alley. As I got deeper into it, it only seemed to grow longer and darker. I didn't want to look back because I was afraid that would've changed too. Eventually I reached the other side and I was in a small, poor looking neighborhood. I heard fighting so I began to walk more slowly so that no one would hear me. As the source of the yelling came into view, a light shines directly onto me and everyone could see me, and I could see them. Although it was dark, there were people outside. Nearest to me were the two who were yelling, a tired looking woman pushing an empty baby stroller, and a tall burly man. I instantly because terrified of the man. He started towards me and grabbed me, one hand around my waist and the other my throat. I managed to scream out "I am calling my mother right now! Leave me alone! Don't hurt me!" Although my mother was a half hour drive away and probably would be too lazy to come get me. I screamed for help, but the other people just watched as he took me. Panic rose in me, and he noticed this as he proceeded to push me up against the wall behind me. Then I remembered the knife in my purse. I slipped it out and held it behind my back as he started to undress me. I was crying. I didn't want to hurt anyone, but I couldn't let this happen to me again. I shoved the knife through him and he fell to the ground. The people around me didn't react, they just went back to their business. I woke up after that.
