Elaborate story dream
May. 25th, 2006 09:49 amI dreamt that I was some kind of government agent. I had an intern, and I was trying to figure out what to do with him. He was supposed to bring the car back to the garage, but managed to back it over a speed hump and damage the undercarriage. I was really pissed and was chewing him out when we got a call about an emergency that we had to go out on. We took the car (he drove). There was some kind of threat from space - I don't know if the whole planet was going to be under attack or just the city.
We went to try to get people to evacuate from this commune that was in the center of the threatened area. They were having a wedding. They were some kind of crazy cult people with really repressive rules - the leader had mostly brainwashed everyone. They wouldn't believe us. We drove off to try to warn other people, but the roads were really bad and somehow we ended up going in a big circle.
When we got back to the cult people, they were still milling about in confusion. There was a really impressive fruit and pastry display set up, and some of them were eating that. I argued with the bride and groom, who were very young and naive. She didn't want to leave because it was her wedding and it was the only time she'd ever get to wear a pretty dress (all the other women had to dress very drably). They were both wearing those fake feather-covered white angel wings. I lost my temper and went on a rant about how they were all going to die. I pointed out that their founding board (who were all dressed in black sitting around a table in a glass-walled building) didn't care about their survival at all, and had already been infiltrated by someone (maybe the threat from the sky? Or the government? I'm not sure.) We got brushed off again, and I realized we had to leave now or we'd get killed, too.
On the way out, we nearly ran down two small children. The intern stopped the car and I grabbed them - even if their parents were morons, they didn't deserve to die horrible flaming deaths. I was trying to get the four year old to help me buckle up the two year old (because they were in the back and I was riding shotgun) while the intern drove like a maniac trying to get us out of there in time when I woke up.
