Dystopian Sacrifice

It started on this camp site. I was this young boy who was watching these older boys. I had been conspired against the people who run this camp site but I didn't really know who they were. Anyway me and my friends one day went to the end of this cliff to see the daily sacrifice to the gods in this machine. But we went too far towards the edge and we got caught in quick mud which was moving quite rapidly towards the edge of the cliff where there was a sharp drop into shallow waters. I told my friend as all my other friends had already fallen off the cliff and died in the shallow water to hold onto a rock and wait for a large wave which often came around. I saw one brewing and I said we should jump now. We did and we both landed in the waves. I saw one of the bodies of my dear friends and next to him in the water which was by my ankles was a 50p coin which talked about the magic. I told my friend that he should have it and said keep it because it'll be worth something some day. Anyway we knew the next part and this was the machine which killed someone daily. I watched as it came nearer. There was a strong current in the water and it was easy to be carried forward. I then asked for the 50p back and I saw that under the word 'Time' there was a zigzag. This is the Egyptian word for water. Time is water. I figured. So I held onto a rock which had a small red line which I reckoned simbolised the starting point and waited for a wave to come. I jumped with the wave and was carried over the middle of the machine to the end of the machine. My friend didn't survive. When I was leaving I hid the 50p in my pocket and interviewers came up and asked me how I had done it. I explained that it had purely been because of a mistake and a coincidence. Anyway, now the leaders of this place wanted to kill me. greattttt. (I have shorted this because my dream didn't go chronologically. I think I may have figured out the time by the level of the water the first time and then moved accordingly to be able to survive the first time and then been asked to do the machine again because they wanted me to die) (In the machine there was also this monster but I figured that it was mechanical)
