What Are They Really Making In There?

It was night, and I was walking round a car park with a friend. I don't know the friend's name, and I don't know him in real life, but in the dream we were really close. We walked to Do It All (DIY shop on the outskirts of my town), and we were looking round by the staff entrance at the back. There was a thumb-print scanner on the door, which you had to use to get in, so we knew it was a high-security area. My friends said we wouldn't be able to get in there, but I said it was okay because my stepdad used to work there.

We managed to open the door, without using the scanner, and we went inside. Instead of a DIY shop, it looked like something from a sci-fi film. Everything was white and clinical, though it was slightly dark inside, making everything seem grey, and there were lots of silver and chrome fixtures. The room we were in was huge, and the centre of the room was on a lower level. We walked down a couple of steps into the centre of the room, and there was some sort of huge silver machine, which extended through the floor and the ceiling. I looked around and realised that the place had been made from an abandoned shopping centre, because you could still see the shop fronts, which had been painted in an attempt to hide them. When I looked back around, my friend was gone.

I tried to look for him, but a man in a white suit appeared and asked me what I was doing. Outwardly, he seemed very friendly, but there was something menacing about him. I told him I was looking for my friend, then I turned round and walked away from him, to the other side of the machine. Suddenly, there were loads of people in the room, all just walking round and chatting, as though the building was still a shopping centre. There was a pig walking round, and I somehow knew it was my friend, who'd somehow been turned into it. I noticed there were quite a few animals walking round, and nobody seemed to pay much attention to them. Leaning on one wall, I saw Hiroki Sugimura (character from Battle Royale), and he was holding a newborn kitten and staring at me.

Additional Comments:

Hiroki Sugimora looked like he does in the manga version of Battle Royale, as opposed to the book or the film. Before I went to bed, I read part of the manga where Hiroki finds an abandoned kitten, and looks after it, so I would guess that explains that part of it.

    I Never Did Find The Toilets

    I'd gotten a new job in MVC (an entertainment store), and it was my first day. I was working on the shop floor, rather than the tills, and I was doing pretty well. I'd been there for a while - it was about 3pm, when I realised I needed the toilet. I went up to the till my manager was working on, and asked him where the toilet was. He said that we didn't have a toilet, we used the shopping centre's ones. He gave me directions I didn't understand, but I tried following them anyway. I bumped into one of my new colleagues, and I asked her where the toilet was. She was really skinny, and her gums and teeth were huge, like a horse. She gave me better directions, then she grabbed my face, and squeezed my cheeks in together and laughed.

    I walked round the corner into what looked like a convention or a fayre. There were loads of tents on the left hand side of the room - which was a really long room - and loads of people queueing up on the right hand side. I saw lots of people I went to college with. First I saw my friend Barry in the queue, but for some reason I wanted to avoid him. Next, I saw my friend Darren, who said hi. Then my ex- boyfriens and my best friend from school, Gareth and Kerrie, came out of the tent behind me, and said they'd been looking for me. I realised that the reason I wanted to avoid Barry was because he'd ask about how Gareth and I broke up, and I couldn't be bothered to explain. I looked at the clock above the exit, and it was now midnight. Kerrie said she'd help me find the toilets, so we left.

    We ended up in the street, but we couldn't find the toilets anywhere. Suddenly, I remembered that before I'd got the job, I'd seen the skinny girl with the big teeth coming out of the back door of MVC, and going through the back door of McDonalds next door. I realised that was where the toilets were, and that we'd come out of the wrong door. We had to cross the main road to get to that door, and there was a triangle shaped traffic island we needed to stop and change direction on. There were lots of tourists stuck on the traffic island, all wearing plastic macs and carrying umbrellas, even though it was sunny. When we got to the island, there was a police woman who told us that we couldn't stop on it because it was being built on. We realised that the whole thing was a pile of rubble, and we were going to get dusty if we stayed, so we crossed in the other direction, and walked round to McDonalds.

    We realised that we were hungry, so we decided to buy some food while we were there - I hadn't had a lunch break, so I didn't think my boss would mind. There were dozens of people queuing, but they were all crowded round the tills, like you'd queue at a bar. Kerrie and I waited at one end of the counter. My manager came in, and waited with us, saying he was hungry too. I couldn't decide what to have. They sold all the standard McD things, but there were loads of other unusual things too. There was only one girl working on the counter, so we waited for ages.

    Eventually, my manager got served, and I knew I was next. I'd decided that I wanted some jellybeans. There was a big jellybean display case down one side of the counter, and the mixed flavour was called Andovian, which was what I wanted. However, there was a handful of chocolate things on top of this flavour, and I didn't want any of them. The girl on the till came up to me and Kerrie, and said she was giving us a free sample of the chocolate things. I ate them and was surprised at how nice they were. The girl then asked who was next, and I had to call out about 3 times before she heard that it was me. I wanted a cheeseburger, but there were none ready, so I'd have to wait. I also asked for a chocolate ice cream, which I had to repeat about ten times, and I knew didn't bode well for me explaining which jellybeans I wanted. I realised that my manager had probably finished his meal by now, because we'd been waiting hours, but when I looked at my watch, it was still midnight.

    Additional Comments:

    The town where this dream took place was not my home town - it sort of looked like Winchester, which is a nearby city, crossed with Chessington, which is much farther away.

    The jellybeans were called Andovian, and my town is called Andover. In the dream, I knew that they were connected somehow.
