Long, Scary Dream

Date: 5/19/2022

The world had descended into anarchy. I don’t know how or why, but it was quick and sudden. Law and order ceased to exist. Here’s how I survived that: I was at a Mexican restaurant with my family when it happened. I was eating some fire chips and quac when they delivered my food. I realized they got my order wrong and I was mad so I left. I stepped outside to see everyone was acting weird, they were just aggressive. I came to the conclusion I’ll just eat my meal, I was hungry after all and didn’t want to have it go to waste. I went back in and sat down but the restaurant staff was really upset with me and began acting very aggressively towards me. Eventually I left the restaurant leaving my family because I didn’t feel safe with the staff. Outside was chaos. People were fighting, killing eachother. You were either fleeing or hunting. I immediately start to run, I don’t know where but to find shelter. I come across a large building next to a field and it’s all people I know around my age. It’s some sort of PSA but it ends just as I arrive and the crowd descends into a brawl. People are being beat to death while others chased. I see and old friend getting the crap beat out of him, I wouldn’t be surprised if he dies. I flee being chased by someone. I come across this entrance to this glass tunnel and begin to go through. Halfway through I come across a teammate of mine and we agree to stick together and get through this. We continue through the tunnel but then come across a staircase down. We start down it wondering where it leads but before long get scared and turn back. The staircase keeps branching into more and more stairs and we just saw two very injured, frightened people flee back up them. We turn around headed back to the town. This is where the dream jumps ahead, I know more happened but I just can’t remember :/ I’m now staying at a small hotel. I guess some businesses can stay open on the promise you’ll pay, otherwise they’ll kill you. I’m cleaning up my room when a person runs into my room. It was my teammate, we had been separated sometime after the staircases. He’s covered in blood, beaten up, and has multiple stab wounds, a knife still in his stomach. I help him down into a bed and with my basic medical knowledge, I jack him up on morphine and bandage up his wounds. Only time will heal him now. I’m still in the hotel, my teammate sleeping off his wounds when another girl comes in. She’s a friend from school, my roommates girlfriend in fact, and she looks scared and exhausted but otherwise uninjured. I invite her to stay with me because so far, I’ve been safe in this hotel. She accepts but since my teammate is in the other bed we have to share one. Things get pretty intimate that night, like third base. In the morning I get up and go through my things, making sure my gear is organized and I’m ready to go at a moments notice. Suddenly the a noise at the door and a group of men break it down. They’ve come to kill me, but not my friends they say. I grab my backpack and quickly run through them and out of the hotel without thinking. They follow on foot. They chase me into the woods where I eventually loose them. Again the dream jumps ahead here. I’m back at that hotel staying with my mom. I don’t know how I found her but I’m glad I did. As for my teammate and friend, I don’t know where they are but I’m confident they’re alive. I know I’m not allowed here in the town. I’ll be killed if I’m spotted which makes it all the more dangerous that I’m with my mom. We eventually need to go get food so we head to this restaurant. Inside, it’s an scary atmosphere. Fights are constant and I feel uneasy but I need food. We sit down next to a man who I know is a hunter for hire, people pay him to kill. We eat talking to him and eventually leave but he follows my mom and as we return to the hotel. I begin to understand he’s going to kill me soon so I tell my mom to lead him away while I find a way to kill him. She aggregates him and he chases her while I find a conveniently placed car, start it up and run down the man. I hit him with the car full speed, it’s violent. His legs shatter and his Upperbody slams the hood of the car and then he rolls over the windshield and onto the pavement. He’s dead. I need to get out of here now. Everyone is after me. The entire town. I tell my mom I’m gonna flee into the woods and find a safe spot to camp but I’ll be back for her. The townspeople chase me into the woods but eventually they give up. I’m walking through the woods, the sun starting to go down, I need to find a spot soon. I still feel uneasy though, there is definitely people out here still I think. I have a kitchen knife in my left hand and a box cutter in my right, ready for anything. I stay low to the ground when I pop over a rock, I see a tent. I’m glad I found where these people were but not wanting trouble, I’ll just keep moving on finding another place. But as I duck down again to keep moving I stop, filled with the feeling of being watched. I turn around and it’s two people, a friend from school and an old friend, the one that was almost beaten to death early on in fact. I’m relieved it’s them because they won’t kill me and I’m fact they invite me to join their camp. It’s them, a couple other girls, and my teammate again. He’s healed up pretty good now but the the guy who was almost beaten to death is still healing up. The dream ends there. The promise of a new life with these friends in the wilderness, away from the rest of the anarchy, chaos filled world.
