Slaughter at the Mall - Dream 1

Ironically, since my last blog post when I told the world (like 10 readers actually) that I would be making a dream journal, I have not had any dreams. Murphy's law at its finest. Finally, after weeks of dreamless nights, it happened... In order to avoid getting sued when I am rich and famous, I have decided to change up the names of two of the main protagonists in the dream other than me; Leo will be my husbands' name and JJ will be the name of one of my guy best friends. So, here it goes...

Leo, JJ and I were hanging out at mine and Leo's house one day, shooting the shit. A chilled relaxed day, filled with beer, food and movies. JJ said he was bored and after a vigorous debate on what we should do, we decided to finally head to the mall. We were going to watch some movie and had several hours before the movie started. All of us went into a large department store called Blah, Blah, Blah to kill some time. Leo needed to buy some clothes so we headed towards the men section to look for something, while JJ went his own way in search of some kitchen utensils. As we are casually choosing some jeans, we suddenly see JJ frantically running towards the EXIT sign, talking on the phone and very worried and scared. Of course, I automatically grow concerned and begin to wonder if everything is okay with him. He looks at us as he runs past us in a panic, says nothing, opens the door to the stairwell and disappears. As I am about to chase after him, there is a voice that comes over the speakers in the mall.

"Attention all shoppers!", yells the voice. "This is a code red! There has been a mass killing in the mall. A man is slaughtering all women in sight in department store Blah, Blah, Blah. Everyone should make their way to level -2."

All hell breaks loose, people are running frantically trying to make their way to the lower levels of the mall. Mothers are looking for their children, crying from terror. Couples who have split up for mere seconds to look at different things in the store are desperately trying to find each other. Yelling, crying and pure terror. What am I thinking about during this life-or-death moment? That mother f@$*#% JJ knew what was going on and he just left us here, without saying a word. I tell Leo this and of course, he jokes that JJ feared for his life as a woman.

Somehow we make our way to level -2 and we are dispersed into bunker looking rooms with no windows and strange writing on the walls. The more I look at the room,the more it looks like one from an insane asylum in which they secluded the most dangerous and crazy lunatics. The weird writings on the walls are actually words which say, "Get OUT!", "I will kill you", etc. There are also scratches on the wall which looks like claw marks. There are about 15-20 people in the bunker and I see JJ sitting the corner. I start yelling at him about how he could leave us there, while he knew what was happening. A twisted smirk crept up on his face and he said, "Why do you think I was running? I didn't want to get caught." He pulls out a knife and I woke up.

Stupid JJ. I am still mad at him.
