The oddest dream

So this isn't quite linear, but it's odd.  

So, I dreamed that Beth, Allen, and I were visiting a strange place that was a combination between Poland and Utah.  Instead of having bars, they had Soda bars.  They only served fancy types of soda.  It was kinda delicious and amazing.  We went Soda bar hunting, and got hyped up on caffeine.

Then, one day, we were driving through the country side (and Anna and Bree and Sarah were magically there with us even though they weren't for the Soda Bar part) and we ran across a Renaissance store.  I of course rushed in to try to find a bodice.  They only had chain mail bras and beaded stuff and they got really upset when I asked for a real bodice.  Apparently the government had outlawed them, except for people who actually worked for the government.  Allen was able to get leather armor, which he wore for the rest of the dream.  

We moved on to other kitchy little stores, but then, someone was following us, taking sniper shots at us.  The store officials had tipped off the government, and now they were hunting us down. Bree disappeared at this point.  We were told she was taken by the government.

Soon we were being all out hunted.  Beth disappeared, and so did Anna and Sarah.  It turned into Allen and I running from everyone.

We were hiding at the UCR commons (though still in Poland/Utah) beneath the outside set of stairs.  Yeah, you guys know which ones.  All of the sudden, though, a pair of velociraptor guards walked by.  They didn't notice Allen and I at that point.  However, some of the peer mentors walked by and noticed us.  So we got taken into this weird prison that was mostly underground, where they made us put on these sensor collars that made the Velociraptors hunt us even more.  We spent a large amount of time running from the Velociraptors.  At one point I had fallen over and had to get up in a hurry, and I was apparently very involved in this dream, cause I actually tried to physically get up, but my bed is to the side of the wall in my apartment, and I literally raised myself up in bed and hit my head against the wall.  It still hurts a bit.  

So Allen and I were put in a "reprogramming camp" where we had to participate in activities or be torn apart by the velociraptors.  Then the organized us by physical ability, and because of my hypoglycemia I got placed in a lower group of priority than Allen, and we were separated.  

Then it came time to officially be reprogrammed.  I was being herded down some stairs, and the person at the bottom of the stairs was none other than Ted Fay from my Romania team.  He was wearing dark robes and a mask, but I still recognized him, and he recognized me.  He pulled me aside and told me to go into the spanish reprogramming section, cause then I wouldn't know what they were saying and it'd be useless for me.  I grabbed Ted by the arm and told him to find Allen and send him in there with me.  Ted just looked at me through the mask and shoved me back into the crowd.

I waited at the Spanish reprogramming, and about half an hour later I was rejoined by Allen.  We hugged and waited for the reprogramming tv show to be over.  Neither of us were brainwashed.  

Everyone was rushed outside, where everyone was given a gun and they had to shoot a cameraman.  I looked around, and almost everyone I recognized was doing so.  Allen and I looked at each other, then started running away.

The dream ended in a stereotypical movie fashion where I heard a voice over saying:  "And then they ran.  They didn't know what would happen.  They didn't know if they would live.  But they still ran."
