Gotta try to write this one down before I forget it completely.
I was abducted by some kind of government agency. They said they knew what I had done and it was useless to resist them. I insisted I hadn't done anything, and they laughed at me and threw me in some kind of cell. I tried to talk to the guard, tried to explain that not only was I innocent, I didn't even know what they thought I had done, and I wasn't being given a chance to defend myself. She just rolled her eyes and tried to close the door. I begged her to stop. What if I had all the money in the world? If I had all the money in the world, could I get out of this prison? She looked suspicious and said well, yes, but you don't have all the money in the world.
I was put in a chair in front of some kind of strange computer terminal. Its purposed seemed to be recording everything with a video and sound recorder, but it had a big monitor which was turned off. With the guard outside the door, I tried to fumble with the machine until at last, it turned on. There was a box that said "insert amount to see games at that price. Warning: entering an incorrect amount off money will result in extra charges." I carefully typed in $5.00 and was surprised to see a list of games come up on Steam. Then I noticed the Steam logo at the top of the monitor. Were they the ones who had arrested me?
They ripped me away from the computer and put me in another room. This one had a window! I looked outside to see a lot of worn-out buildings and a big parking lot. To the side there was a lot of water, like an ocean. On the other side of the buildings I could see a highway! For some reason I still had access to the computer - they told me I could try whatever I wanted but it wouldn't work. Somehow I got Facebook open. I knew they'd be watching everything posted from my page, so the first thing I did was change my name. Then I frantically typed, full of typos, a desperate cry for help, saying I was being held illegally, without charges, in some kind of strange building, and I described the area around me including the highway. Once I hit Post a guard burst into the room and shoved me out of the way. He saw that I had described our location and he got angry. He wanted to kill me, but another man behind him told him not to bother. It was too late. "She changed the rules," he said. "She thought of something new. There's nothing we can do now." He turned his back to me and I ran out the door.
I got on a bus leaving this place. As it passed the building, I saw the window I had looked out of. The building was falling apart. The bus was approaching a bridge (so we were on an island) and it was going way too fast. It swerved partially into the wrong lane, then straightened out and headed for the toll booths at the other end - except we were way bigger than the tollboths, and we weren't slowing down. I squeezed my eyes shut and held on for dear life, but nothing happened. A woman sitting next to me laughed, said that it scared her the first time, too, before she learned that they open the structure to let the buses through.
Now I was on a long path through the woods, trying to make my way all the way home. It was a scary place and I could sense danger all around. Suddenly a figure comes bouncing up over the hill ahead - it's one of the dire wolves from Game of Thrones, the one who got released into the wild (forget the name). I approached her carefully and she licked my palm, then escorted me the rest of the way down the path. Finally we reached the door of my house, and I could see people inside. I called the wolf to come in with me, but she wouldn't go. She turned around and bounded back into the forest.
(This entire dream took place in the 5 minutes between snoozes on my alarm clock - and I've already forgotten most of the details.)
