Dragon strikes mall...

I have been having this re-occuring nightmare. This is second or third night I had it.

I am driving my minivan with my wife and kids at some point we just missing getting plowed by a semi=truck that jack knifes. For whatever reason we just keep going to the mall.

The mall has a huge 3 or 4 tier parking structure. As we get near the top and are looking for a apot we realize that people are in a general panic driving around trying to get away from a dragon that is both grabbing cars and blowing flame. Most people seem to be trying to get down to the bottom levels.

We are awestruck by the huge dragon for a few seconds then try to do the same. The dragon then sticks its head in the middle level and crunches a car right next to ours!

At this point we decide to run into the mall. We get out and when the dragon is busy attacking the top level we run for it. For some reason even though the mall parking lot is packed it is either too late or too early cause it's closed!!!

We see an employee at the doors, she is letting people in so we run for it. For some reason I fall down. (I think it was because I saw the dragon coming. Either to distract it to save my family or in hopes that it would think I was already dead.) I see the woman employee busy relocking the doors she opened but she is having a hard time and stops. (Big dragon wouldn't fit any way.....)

I carefully peak around and I see a woman walking towards me. She walks up to me and says something about how I don't look too bad. She then 'casts healing 4' on me.....(this should have been my first clue that something was wrong since modern people don't 'cast healing'---not that ancient people did either, but, hey, there's a dragon in this dream). I look up and check for the dragon, I don't see it so I run to one of the still open doors.

Then I see it! Out of the corner of my eye I notice the woman 'flicker'. For just a second I saw that she had the same horns as the dragon then she looked normal! I knew it was the dragon, but apparently she noticed that I noticed and cast some sort of mind control me and forced me to walk up some very curvy stairs to look for people. The stairs ended in a bathroom that was also shaped very curvy. As I was being forced to come down, I kept trying to figure out how to break her spell and get away.

When I got to the bottom of the stairs the spell seemed to wear off by itself. I ran straight at the dragon-woman and tackled her. Then I took off into the mall. I saw other people running around looking for hiding places because there was a second dragon!

Apparently it had been busting open windows and trashing walls to get at the people. I had no idea where my family was and at almost every step a huge dragon head would crash thru a wall.

For some reason I decided to hide in an elevator but I couldn't decide which floor to have it stop on. I kept going up and down and at one point was staring at a small family as they got snagged by the dragon popping its head thru the wall. I then decided the elevator was a bad idea and had it go down cause I was gonna try and find a basement or bottom parking garage to hide in.

The elevator got stuck between levels and I was trying to get out when the dragons caused the level above to collapse on that level and I was almost buried.

Then I woke up to my daugher telling me that my son puked....argh...
