i was on some sort of gameshow for some reason, and i was asked to identify a strangely-shaped building using a 3-d hologram. it was a pretty cool hologram, because the gameshow host could "grab" a part of it in his hand, and raise it, giving a view of the interior of that part of the building. like cutting off a piece of cake to see the layers of cake and icing on the inside. only on the inside of this building were different rooms with little desks and offices. the building itself was shaped like a gooey sort of stalagmite with windows.
i identified the building as the place were a certain girl lived, though it was clearly some sort of office building or something along those lines. i somehow knew the girl only in passing, though how i knew that she lived there i have (and had) no idea. but i knew that i was correct, and the gameshow, despite my answer probably not being the one they were looking for, went ahead and let me win with it.
it was as if the gameshow knew the truth of everything, or had access to something which did, and if my answer was correct then that was all there was to it. i could have just as well said "it is where Mr. X works," and if Mr. X did indeed work there i would have still gotten it right. like the gameshow (or perhaps the entertainment industry) was an omniscient entity, squandering its knowledge for the masses' cheap amusement and their profit in a dystopian future.
anyhow! by answering the question i somehow was transported to the building itself, but outside of it. there was a tall wall around it with a fenced, wrought iron gate. i knew for some reason then (perhaps there was a sign outside? i don't remember) that the school was actually a christian private school. i knew that for some reason i was waiting for this girl to come in or out, but i didn't know why or what i was supposed to say or do when she did, so i was kind of anxious.
a postman came by, and we started talking about something or other. it turns out he was really just a plot device, because in the middle of our conversation the girl came by, on her way into the gate, and joined in. and then the postman had to leave, so i was already talking to her, and it was a lot less uncomfortable that way. i remember thinking to myself during the dream, "oh, so that's why he was there. that was lucky."
the girl and i became great friends, but i soon learned that she had a terrible secret! she was something like a werewolf (surprise, surprise). but not exactly, more like another sort of shape-changing monster, but close enough. anyhow, i soon learned that she lived in the christian private school so that she could eat little christian children.
i asked why she did that, and her answer went something like, "oh come on, if there was any type of person you had to kill, wouldn't it be little conservative christians before they grow up and become fat intolerant politicians?" so in a way she was trying to secure her future as someone with a -very- alternative lifestyle.
i'm not sure if she had to kill people or if it was just a monsterly compulsion, but that wasn't so much the issue. i thought it was unfair to kill them at such a young age, because i'm sure many of them didn't even want to be in the school, and might grow up to resent their stern religious upbringings. no, she should eat the fat intolerant politicians of today, as they were the real problem. we argued politely over this.
i remember suddenly feeling scared for her that i'd answered on the gameshow (on public television) that this was where she lived, because if anyone connected that unexpected answer with the deaths and disappearances she was surely causing at the school, the law might come after her. as i was thinking this we were still debating the killing of children thing, and i was trying to change the subject to warn her. i was worried.
but before there was an adequate break in the conversation, i woke up, feeling vaguely anxious and guilty over something that i really couldn't have expected and wasn't really my fault.
Additional Comments:
I had just read a novel involving werewolves. I don't know why, but many of my dreams involve gameshows or contests of some sort.
