Child (male? female?) born to nazi parents who commit suicide shortly after. I take the POV of this person and procede alone into the start of the sequence - like a line to an attraction at a theme park, except the attraction is sorted into different stages. Note to self after having experienced this dream, pay attention to what happens to my backpack and two jackets. (I don't actually remember where they were at most points during this...)
First stage: I transform into Cloud Strife tactically attacking enemies from afar in a setting that resembles a turn based strategy game.
[in a hotel room, foreshadowing.]
Next line: I am pushed along, into the sewers, slums of some district chasing after something (magic? a pixie?) I can't catch. Motorcycles?
Next stage: Moving forward, I'm in an outdoor mall. I'm carrying a bomb into the target location. activate it. walk slowly away (feels like a combination of the opening sequence to the movie Touch of Evil and the sequence where Joker walks away from the hospital in The Dark Knight). Nearing exit, hear the explosion, feel the heat from behind - turn, see fire erupting from inside, smoke spreading and engulfing everyone flowing towards my direction, arm feels the burn from the heat, people around trying to run. I run. (This part actually happened twice - there were two bombs - but I don't remember the sequence between the planting of both bombs)
As I run forward, thousands of people compressed into streams flow past me towards the site of the explosion. However there are too many(50+ streams at once) and the streams crash into each other like trains. People get run over by people-trains, blood splattering on the ground, massive chaos all around.
I run as fast as I can past them, finally trapped in a crowd with people I know from high school + Johny?? in a corner. It almost feels like I'm stuck in a massive line/crowd at Disneyland. Oh wait, this is Disneyland. and this is a line waiting to exit, since the mall just got bombed and a ton of people just died. I can see the Sleeping Beauty castle plus another huge crowd of trapped people just over the wall next to me. Johny seems amused at the equally trapped people. Discussion with high school friends over how life's going. I thought you were supposed to be in Europe. [oh, I'm on vacation right now]
Oh look, there's a part of the crowd branching off into this field that reminds me of the field where we were waiting in line at general commencement. We're getting permission to leave from these black suited guards, one by one. High school friend realizes something, tries to explain but can't in front of guards and has to run around the corner behind a wall, others follow. I try to but am pulled back by guard, pushed away into the line exiting the campus.
Line moves toward the end, I wonder what happened to the others. They zoom by me at that moment, having transformed into fish or sea monkeys. I don't remember which. Alternate ending for this dream starts here, in which I also transform into a sea monkey and become enraptured by a giant shroom.
No wait. My conscious self isn't satisfied by this ending, so I forcefully rewind time in the dream (like rewinding a tape) and come back to the point before fish friends fly by.
Line moves forward, I see a huge line progressing in the opposite direction back into the park. I wonder why you would try to go back into the park when there is so much chaos there right now, at the site where the bomb went off/streams of people collided. I get pushed out. At this point I realize I left my two jackets back somewhere in the line when I was still with high school friends. I took them off because it was getting too hot. Oh well.
As I exit, I realize backpack was left behind, I go back to the entrance and one of the guards hands it back to me. I ask him how he knew it was my backpack (it was actually dad's billabong backpack). He saw me drop it apparently.
I look back at the entrance line, which goes through a shack at some point. In front of the shack is a distressed woman, face with burns, apparently tortured while working as a servant for the family running the park. She gets pulled back into the shack by security, screaming.
I exit the park via the exit line... and then wake up? I don't remember what else there was after that. I feel like the hotel room from early on came back again. The culprit was there. Watching the news covering what happened today.
After I wake up I close my eyes and rewind time back through the dream, to the beginning. I am still bothered by the gruesomeness of the deaths back during the people-stream-train sequence.
