This dream was had this morning, between 7 am and 10 am.
The beginning of the dream took place in a school setting, but I don't remember much about it. I do know that I was assigned several projects, one of which was to write a report about something I'm very good at (odd.) An internet friend was also in the dream, with the same homework assignment as I. He worked at a very very large mall as a stock boy, and I came to visit him. He was complaining about the assignment, stating that he didn't have anything to write about. I brainstormed some ideas of things he did well, mainly in relation to his job. I started coming up with very strange, random examples that really had nothing to do with the position of stock boy. Somehow this conversation turned to my justifying his existence. There was a large drain in the floor of the mall that was getting clogged, and I suggested to him that if he weren’t there, then no one else in the mall would know how to unclog that drain, and the whole mall would get flooded. He scoffed, and I moved towards the foot of a set of stairs. I looked up the stairs, and saw a group of three men, wearing Halloween masks with different expressions on each (happy, sad, and angry). I called to my friend, as I thought these men were very suspicious, and I figured this would be a good situation for him to feel important (by scaring the men away).
However, as my friend walked over, the three men pulled out guns and began shooting at us. We ducked and dodged throughout the mall, the security guards shot back, and a shootout began. The gates for all of the mall stores were closing, out of lockdown security measures, and my friend and I ducked into the nearest one. There were large windows in the storefront, but the metal gate was closed and locked. Apparently the three men won the shootout with the security guards, and began to search the stores for something. They reached the store we were hiding in, and managed to coax the store manager into opening the metal gate. They claimed they were looking for something that was hiding in the walls between the stores. I was freaked out, somehow managed to find a window to wiggle through and escape the store before they came inside.
It soon became apparent that the three men were actually coming after me. The window I had wiggled through lead to another part of the mall, which resembled a suburban area. I ran through people’s backyards, jumped over fences, and attempted to hide in a large bushy area, but the men kept coming after me. Eventually I found an empty garage to hide in, the owner of which saw me and handed me a small, hand held television system to entertain myself with. However, upon receiving this gift, I began to have an Alice in Wonderland esque moment, where I suddenly grew too large (or the garage grew too small) to house me. For some reason I thought that maybe this change in size was a part of my imagination, so I figured if I stayed really still I wouldn’t be noticed by the men. Unfortunately, as soon as the three men saw the garage, they knew I was in there. They pretended that they had no idea, and stalked around it menacingly. Eventually one of the men held a set of very sharp, shiny silver throwing weapons (similar in concept to ninja stars but not at all uniform in shape) very very close to my face. I realized that I was going to have to fight my way out. I grabbed onto the man, did a back flip kick and landed a blow right on his face. I took off running.
All hell broke loose soon after, and it was revealed that I was some sort of secret agent/spy. I ran through the regular mall part of the mall, to get away from these men. They continued to come after me, throwing their faux ninja stars, which I both dodged and managed to throw back at them. At one point I accidentally took out an innocent bystander with one of these stars, which I had very few qualms over.
I managed to get outside of the mall, where I met up with a large (tall, thick and muscular) man, who was apparently one of my side kicks. He helped me scale some adjacent buildings, by picking me up and thrusting me into the air. The man who had held his faux ninja stars to my face earlier had the same skills as I did, and was able to scale the buildings just as easily. The chase continued out to the mall parking lot.
In the parking lot a mystery older man appeared. I knew him to be my ex husband, and he was obviously the ring leader of this attempt to kill me. He claimed that he knew I had black mail pictures of him located in my car, and that he wanted them now, or else something horrible would happen to me. I laughed at him, and made my way over to a car, a metallic pink 1975 Dodge Dart (this car but pink: http://www.pjsautoworld.com/1970cars/1975dodgedart.JPG). My side kick and I jumped into the car and took off out of the parking lot. Explosions were occurring all around us (I think a helicopter might have been chasing us).
At this point the dream turned Grand Theft Auto esque. I was controlling the car, watching it from behind and a little bit above. The dream ended as the door of my car was opened by a police man, who pulled me out of the car. I hit him with the nearest weapon handy, a metal pipe, which caused the policeman to explode on contact.
