Compilation of Events

I was in some urban setting, during the day, walking around what appeared to be a college campus. It was very busy, very dirty... almost like something you'd expect to see in a movie about some seedy Mexican city or something.

I was in an alley along one of the main roads and I was trying to meet up with Pam, and old friend of mine from high school. While I was talking to her on a pay phone, I saw someone in one of the upper floors of a building on the main street come to the window and start yelling to me that my girlfriend was watching, so I had better look out.

I shouted back that I wasn't doing anything wrong, but the lady just kept yelling "Your girlfriend is watching you!" Nick was with me at this point, and I turned to him and said that I didn't understand what the problem was, because I wasn't doing anything wrong. We both looked around at all of the open windows on the multi-story buildings, trying to see if she was indeed watching me, but we didn't see her.

We started walking down the alley, away from the apartment buildings, and ended up walking through a slightly secluded area between some of the school buildings. At this point it was starting to get dark, and we noticed a suspicious looking guy walking towards us on the sidewalk. Nick said to me that the guy looked like trouble, and I agreed and said it looked like he had a gun.

Nick was walking ahead of me by about 10 feet, and sure enough - as soon as Nick started to go past this guy, he pulled out a gun and started shooting. Nick dove to the ground and rolled towards some bushes for protection, and I came around the corner and shouted at the guy - which made him stop shooting.

He was distracted by me, and then Nick made a lunge towards him, which allowed me to run at him and grab the gun. I wasn't able to get it away from him, but I did have enough control that he wasn't able to aim it at me or Nick. So instead, the crazy guy puts the gun in his mouth and tries to pull the trigger.

I was able to talk to him and convince him to give me the gun, just as a team of police and EMS people showed up. He said he was going to tell the people that he had a gun, but that I took it away from him, but I convinced him to just act like he was sick... and they took him away, with me being able to tuck the gun into my pants.

The police didn't realize that Nick and I were involved in this potential shooting event, so we were able to head down the road without having to answer any questions. Once we hit the main road, once again someone in the upper floors of the apartment buildings started shouting. "They're coming! They're coming!" was all we heard.

We turned to look over our shoulders and noticed a large hill or mountain, with search lights from helicopters being visible even though the helicopters were not yet. We started running down the street, away from the helicopters, until we made our way to a large abandoned apartment building.

And actually, it wasn't completely abandoned... because there were people living in some of the units, even though the building wasn't suitable for living in. We got into one of the hallways and heard some noises coming from inside one of the nearby units. I used a claw hammer to break up the wall a bit so I could climb up to an indoor window, but as soon as I started to peek in I was confronted by someone.

It was Tom Cruise... and he was FREAKED OUT. Whatever he was afraid of, it caused him to knock me down off the wall and slam the windows back shut, screaming something at me... although I couldn't understand what it was. At this point Nick had disappeared. (Without any concern to me, that is... he just wasn't there anymore.)

I continued walking up and down the hallways, going from floor to floor, but now I was looking for my girlfriend. I think I was concerned at whatever was approaching, and I wanted to find her so that we could both be safe somewhere. As I reached the upper floors, I finally found where she was staying.

There were several large apartments on the upper-most floor that had been taken over by a gang of people. They were up there partying, drinking, and carrying on... completely acting like they didn't even care that something bad was coming this way.

I started kicking open doors, hoping that I was going to find her up there somewhere - but when I did I was pissed off. It turns out that she wasn't up there hiding, she was up there partying with everyone else. She was actually sitting in a giant hot tub with a bunch of other girls that were just chilling out.

When I asked why she wasn't hiding and why she wasn't trying to find me, she said that she was mad because I was trying to meet up with Pam, and that it didn't matter anyway because I'd always take her back no matter what she did. I told her she was full of crap and I turned around to walk out.

She jumped out of the hot tub and started running towards me, asking me to forgive her, and I kept telling her no. I actually went into other rooms and kept slamming the doors, trying to get her to stop following me, but she wouldn't leave me alone. She kept saying "You know how this goes... I screw up and then you take me back!" I kept trying to get away, she kept yelling... then I woke up. :-/
