For some reason, the larger mall near us in Joplin had a thing where every Saturday was "Disney Day" and the mall would become full of Disney-themed stores and the nearby area turned into a Disney theme park. I found this out at the end of the dream, but I think it makes better sense to tell you right now.As the dream started, my entire family (mom, dad, brother) were going around to the different activities and I stopped in one that kind of resembled a cross between an auditorium, a Chuck E. Cheese, and a shooting video game. Like one of those House of the Dead games. Every seat in the auditorium had a gun in the back of the seat and you picked it up and shot at a giant screen in the front of the auditorium. There were two screens on each side so that you weren't too far away, but most of the people in the auditorium weren't even playing anyway. Most people were just watching everyone else play.
So as I started playing, there were three boys that could be controlled on the screen with the buttons on the gun. Since I was the only one playing at this time, I was doing pretty well anyway and controlled the largest boy in the game, making him shoot at things within the game that I aimed at and I did pretty well until I got tired and had taken a long time. So I left and went to find my brother.
We were in a giant building that resembled a Toys R Us and I found him to tell him about this game. He decided he'd go but not necessarily play, so we went back to the auditorium to play some more.
When we got in there, the auditorium had gotten bigger and there were tons more people in there--some were even playing. It took a lot of work to convince my brother that I was one of the only people really playing because there were so many trying. But they didn't realize, as I did, that you had to press the correct button on the gun to select a character to play. A couple figured it out eventually and then the game was going a lot better since I had help from other players.
That's when it started to get weird. A voice came over the loudspeaker to inform us that we were doing very well but now things would get more difficult. It was at this time that I became aware that this was a Battle Royale game--like the movie/book/manga where the kids have to pick each other off until there's only one left.
Those of us playing were standing up and at that time, hundreds of other people started to file in. They sat in the seats behind us and squished us in the aisles, making us uncomfortable, and took charge of any guns we weren't using. We were told that this was a test for us and that this was not a game. First, everyone was given a chance to give up playing and just have their hands cut off if they pressed 817 on their gun controllers. A bunch of people did, and then put the guns away and sat back in their chairs. I couldn't tell if it was serious or if this was some wacky part of the game.
After more shooting at the screen, albeit while crushed and uncomfortable, the game halted again. The man--apparently the one in charge of the game--stood behind a pulpit and preached to us about the game. He said that the game was going to take an unusual turn and tables shot up (somehow) in front of us that contained hundreds of little yellow cheesecakes.
Everyone leaned forward and looked at the cakes. We hadn't yet been told what we were to do with the cakes so people took up the small, blunt knives near the cakes and began to cut them. They figured that maybe this was an eating contest. Before the guy in charge had said ANYTHING, people around me began to eat small pieces of the cake.
"I DIDN'T SAY TO START YET!" the guy in charge bellowed. He said no one would be punished for starting ahead of time but, "EVERYTHING THAT GOES DOWN CAN THEN COME UP!"
I heard a few people next to me starting to gag and try to throw up the cake they'd just eaten and at that point I decided it was time to excuse myself before the entire place became one big vomitorium. My brother followed behind me and we found out that this was just a game and nothing would happen to us as we left.
We met up with my parents and walked outside as my mom complained that we had been gone too long. We walked outside and my brother shouted, "PRINCESS CHESTNUT!" As I scanned my brain for what Disney film she was from, I looked over and saw that it was a two-headed (two girls in a special dress) girl played by twins who wore a pink dress and held star-wands in each hand. I took a picture and we entered the mall, which I recognized as being on Disney Day and we went off to go home.
