dream, Wed 8/7/09
This dream contains distressing concepts. Kindly discontinue reading if you think you might be offended.
I was playing with some sort of Korg-like device (am most reminded of Hobnox console and the Korg game on the Nintendo DS) and it was teaching me to manipulate a song. I was following the instructions to the letter but my brother decided he didn't like what I was doing, and didn't like the Garbage song that was playing. He told me to change it but I didn't want to, so he stuck a finger up my bottom to punish me. I screamed like I'd been raped, understandably so. I did actually shout out loud whilst dreaming as I was waking up.

I can see buildings like that at my high school. I'm running, to another posh high school. I have to run through an army camp to get there. Everyone is in uniform except me. I manage to escape and this guy won't stop following me. He asks me what my last name is and I tell him that it's none of his business.
I get to this beautiful, old-world leafy cluster of buildings. I can't find the school I'm looking for so I enter this government-type building. I go down an escalator and after that realise that I can't escape. We're in some massive shopping centre type place that transports people on escalators and conveyor belts. It takes years to see the outside world again. They've tricked us. They tell us that we're just about to get to leave, but then they won't let us hop on the appropriate escalators to take us to the exits.
After about five or so years, one of the people I'm travelling with decides to kill one of our companions by suffocating her because she insists that we're not being lied to. He kills her so easily and so coldly by pinching shut her nostrils and covering her mouth.
Eventually there's some sort of revolt from the inside and we escape but we've all forgotten how to live outside. We've spent so much time travelling on moving belts and escalators that we don't remember what to do outside.
