Frustrating Parkour behind a theater

Date: 1/16/2020

I had this dream where kids and adults were split in two groups, and adults got to watch a movie of their choice in this rounded theater (which had five screens, one in each direction). Behind there was like this giant play area with little parkour areas. There were five giant fruits (including a tomato) which each had a dumb face, and they were positioned around in hard ‘Easter egg’ like areas where, inside of the fruit, there was a little button. There was a giant final parkour which nobody could do, but when all buttons were pressed by the same person (fingerprint detection) then a secret door opened near the beginning of the final parkour, which let you skip it all and get to the end. The end was a safe haven from these giant, cannibalistic men in red suits (that covered even their faces) who wore fedoras and carried shotguns, and patrolled the place, trying to catch kids. Me, Lonnie (from elementary/middle school) and my little sister were going through. We were trying to escape the red patrollers. Luckily they were the dumbest and slowest things every considering they had shotguns, but it was still close. I was the best climber of us three, so I stayed at the back and kicked/pushed the patrollers down whenever they caught up. We got to this one coarse that everyone got stuck on. I was irritated because it was mostly little kids there, me and Lonnie were the only ones our age, we were like just young enough to still have to be ‘kids’. When we were climbing across one area, which was mostly crisscrossed poles and fences, I climbed ahead. We saw the giant pineapple and Lonnie told me about the secret entrance thing on the last level, so I climbed over and went inside. I almost fell because it was harder parkour to get there, but it was possible. Inside was a very small room with a tiny blue button in the wall. I pressed it and it said: “[my name], 1/5.” I went back down to join my sister and Lonnie and found them on this one level. It looked like a kiddie play area and a ton of kids were stuck there. You balanced along this small beam hooked to the wall, which was harder to do the bigger your feet were, and then there were these cardboard hand holders with little hands on them that you were meant to grip and pull yourself up this wall with, using only your hands/arms. Except since I’m older than most of the kids there, the cardboard kept ripping when I tried to put my weight on it. I got pissed off because I don’t even weigh that much, I’m super underweight for my age so I was thinking “shouldn’t I be able to do this anyways?” Since that wouldn’t work, I ran as hard as I could at the opposite wall and sort of wall-jumped to the platform instead of climbing with the cardboard. I made it to where three girls were, they were in like 6th grade maybe? I ignored them mostly and sidled onto the beam next to them, but they were slow and chattering and not moving so I was trying to reach around them and continue ahead of them. It was annoying but I eventually grabbed onto a handhold, except this time instead of cardboard it was this thin-ass plastic that was hinged to the wall. It swung open when you tried to grab it which confused me until I realized you had to ‘open’ each one so it was perpendicular to the wall, then grab it. Halfway up some red patrollers came into the level/room and the kids went into some chaos; one group of little girls tackled the guys and took their shotguns before anyone could get hurt though. The red patrollers were shoved off and everything resumed as normal. When I went back to climbing I noticed that there was an Easter egg path, I was at the corner of the wall but if you looked around the corner there was this long jump that lead to a bunch of parkour to the tomato. I jumped but missed; them I fell back down to level 1. I saw Lonnie and my sister there and they told me they’d fallen too. Then I met this man who had a fedora, a long dark coat, and otherwise looked like the real life version of the main antagonist from Princess and the Frog. He swooped around in his long coat, checking on the adults watching the movies, and making sure kids didn’t sneak in (or adults come into the parkour.). I ran around behind the ‘scenes’ of the movie theater, dashing right behind the screens. It was a room shaped like a donut, which surrounded the circular room where all the adults were. There was a few gaps next to the screens where I could see the adults, but they didn’t see me as I ran by the gaps fast. When I got around to the man I saw him talking with this person. One little kid had approached the person as well and was asking if they were a girl or boy. The person kindly explained that they were both; they said, “I feel like both, but mostly girl.” In my head I thought, “this person is 70% girl and 20% boy.” I wasn’t thinking it to be rude, it’s like I had read their mind and knew. I said it out loud and the person nodded and said “yeah, kind of, I guess!” I moved on in the donut room and found myself back with Lonnie and my sister. Skip forward and us three have climbed back to the tomato level. The red patrollers seemed to grow in number every time we sent them back down, which was worrying, so I was kind of scared trying to get us three to the top ASAP. I was kind of the leader, even when we were with other kids, I naturally assumed that position. I kept trying to reach the tomato near the one level, but the jumps were hard. Meanwhile the other kids were struggling with the regular parkour below me. I eventually made the jump and when I pressed it it said my name again, then a glitching sound that was super loud and horrible. Then, “2/5.” I came out and the kids asked me what happened, I told them I had 2/5 for the secret door but we needed to hurry because between the multiplying red men and the glitch thing, something was wrong. Something was gonna happen I could feel it. Then the dream ended.
