Hiding in 20’s Land
Comments(0)
forgive the grammer stream of mind working here:
We started off in some essence private compound/resort. Myself, a woman 25-35 years old, and two children- a girl about 6 and a boy around 4.(they could have been a bit older). We were trying to escape from the compound, I don’t know why we were “captives”. We had managed to get away from our “guards” and were in a utility building for the waterfront area. (The compound had a large artificial lake and a stream system that wound around some of the landscape) We found some electric water craft, sort of like what divers use to cover large distances underwater, but these only pulled you along the surface. I got the others setup with their craft and I opened the hatch allowing us to enter the lake. We calmly proceeded to follow the edge of the lake taking great care not to bring attention to our selves, until we reached a stream that branched of into an isolated area near an exit. The stream dead-ended within a concrete type culvert. I hopped out and quickly ran back to help the children. The girl had already started to climb up the small embankment, and I picked up the boy and hoisted him out of the culvert and onto the paved walking path that bordered the stream.
It seemed that we had managed to successfully evade our captors.
[Flash to somewhere else in the compound: our protagonist yelling at his guards who have just informed him of our disappearance. The guards reported that we weren’t anywhere in our permitted area, and were last seen in the waterfront area, but were now nowhere to be seen. {the only way to escape our secure area was by water and they felt that we could only have tried to swim it which the guards felt was very unlikely that we could successfully do that. The children could not swim and it was too far for the adults to hold them and swim. They began assuming that we all drowned. However there were no bodies as of yet. One guard commented that they should go check the filtration screens for our bodies as that is where they had found the missing kittens in the past. The current is very strong in the water system so no one swims in it they just use small electric boats and bicycle type pedal craft. The guards were told to expand their search to all areas of the complex.
The complex at this point is shown to expand immensely from the area previously displayed. It now appears to be a Disneyland like complex only larger. The area we had just escaped is like the resorthotel area and we are now on a pathway along the border of the hotel and the amusement park. I continue ahead alone trying to get out of the complex undetected. I get to a large open area. I can see back looking North into the “A” park and see a very wide main boulevard that seems to loop around a large oval parkland, on the outside of the boulevard it is buildup much like Disneyland’s Main street only on a larger scale much longer and the buildings are as high as 6 stories. Coming down one side of the boulevard is a dirigible shaped like the Hindenburg. It is more stylized with an intricate (turn of the century style ala Time Machine 60’s) exterior support structure (bands) it is close to the size of the Hindenburg, not like the Goodyear blimp. The dirigible cabled to a track and it floating slowly along about 50 feet in the air.
The park perimeter is directly south however I can see that it is heavily guarded and guards are sweeping in my direction.
I have to continue toward the East across this vast paved open area towards what seems to be a replica of some large city in the 1920’s. As I get closer there are many open wheeled cars like SpeedRacer whipping around the open area, they seem to be part of some attraction. As they round one corner they appear to get hooked up on some track and then proceed down on the the main boulevards of the 20’s city. Suddenly I’m dodging these vehicles on the street and as I zig left (North) I notice the ground underneath my feet is moving as I’m being moved along buildings are closing in on me and suddenly I’m in front of a building in fact I’m now inside a three sided building as it slides itself into the fourth side that is located in the beginning of the 20’s area. I can see more cars in front being “caught” and carried down the 20’s street ahead of my building. I seem to be standing in a safe place (not going to be crushed) and decide to stay put until the building completes its assembly. And with a boom/snap/slam it stops and the sky has turned to night and I can see nothing other than the 20’s city. It is as if I had just traveled back in time. In fact my clothes are suddenly period appropriate.
Now being quite disoriented, not knowing what the hell just happened and still quite aware of my pursuers, I find myself in a small room that appears to be part of some office, I can see/hear through a service window like a payroll department a gruff man in his late forties is barking at some one in the lobby. I then hear a soft voice in the room I’m in. An attractive woman in her mid twenties tells me that I had better get to work or I won’t last long working here. Despite being immersed in this new world for a whole 20 seconds I sense that the woman is sincere in her concern and that I should go along with the program. For some reason I have a feeling that the woman is playing a role, but she doesn’t outwardly state that or really show it in any way, just some of here choice of words I think. She quickly shows me what I need to be doing, so that I at least appear to be performing my job duties. We work together for an hour or so. We hand out wages and checks to people. The front side of the room has a glass window with a pass-through cut in it on the back wall is a built-in cabinet with compartments and individual doors containing stacks of paychecks and cash. The gruff man that was in the lobby on my arrival reappears and says to close up for the night. The woman and I neatly stack the paychecks and money back into the appropriate compartments. I try to close the compartment doors but some don’t cover the entire cubbyhole. I then notice that the outer lobby has no exterior wall it is just open to the street. I also see that our room is not securable. I’m thinking well how do we keep people from just walking in and reaching through the window and taking things. While I thinking this the woman proclaims that we are done and lets go. I start to protest but stop myself as she thinks that everything is A okay and normal, so I guess I should too. (this is a strange place).
We exit through an interior door and go down a hallway.
[jump to] Her apartment we have finished a quite dinner and the dishes are done. I exit the bathroom after washing my hands and walk down her small hallway the lights are low and I feel very much at home and comfortable. I get to her bedroom doorway, she is sitting in an upholstered chair facing me brushing her hair and has changed into a silk nightgown, she invites me to join her. I tell her I be right in as I need to get a drink of water. My throat was parched. As I continue on to the kitchen and draw a glass of water I’m thinking I going to get lucky tonight, this has to be a dream.
[and it is a dream I wake up at this point, It seems to be a pattern in my dreams when on the rare occasions that I’m going to get lucky I wake up just before 
also of note is that having been sick the last week I really was parched and needed a drink of water, oh If only I didn’t need to make that side trip to the kitchen!]
