Tyranny
I had this dream last night that I was with a group in the post apocalyptic type era. The building were thrashed and jungle was growing up around them. We had a small group that was constantly on the watch for some kind of creature. It was something that was hard to detect and we used several kinds of detection from visual to seismic to try and keep ahead of it. We also moved around alot.
We were at one building which was apparently where I lived before everything went crazy. There wasn't much there but at least it had toilet paper (and working plumbing somehow...) After looking around for more supplies, we setup the sensors again and posted guards. I was using the bathroom when one of my officers came to me and told me they were getting seismic activity. I ran to the person with the laptop computer and looked at it.
I told them that we needed to move when a shot rang out. We grabbed our people and started running into the forrest toward another building we had that would be more secure. (This one barely had 2 walls and no ceiling.) We ran as the other tribe shot at us.
I rounded a bend and saw my kids were at the other building already. As my group passed me somehow I was able to grab the child of the leader of the other group. As the other group's people started to converge on us I ran up a slide to the second floor of the building and held out the child.
I screamed for them to stop and made a small speech about us needing to work together to fight the evil things. The leader of their group came up and I gave her child back to her. They begrudgingly agreed to work together. I told them something and we started to head back to the first building. Somehow my family and I got separated from the group.
In the forrest a T-rex appeared and started chasing us. We dodged and ducked. We ran and ran. We turned around a bend and found an abandoned shopping mall so we hid in there. The T-rex kept sniffing around. At some point I was holographically projected out of the mall and I could see the T-rex trying to find its way in, but it had morphed to Godzilla proportions and apparently it could talk! It kept taunting me to show myself then resorted to ripping the rooves off of the various shops. I looked around and saw it now had a couple friends watching, too. I slowly backed away and realized I was hiding in plain sight, not actually a holograph.
In an effort to distract the T-rex from my family I took of running. Of course, at that point the T-rex also realized I wasn't a holograph and chased me. I ran back into the forrest. I knew somehow that once the T-rex and his buddies came after me, that my family could escape the mall. I came around a corner and found a path that had been cleared in the forrest. I looked to my side and saw my family was already there. I saw a huge pile of dung in the path and realized it was a walking path for triceratops. The dung pile was big enough to hide in so we jumped in and hoped it would mask our smell. Apparently one of my men was already in the pile hiding so it moved and fell apart, not really hiding all of us. I frantically piled more on and then saw that something was "burrowing" thru the dung. It turned out to be a small triceratops, but it totally revealed our hiding spot.
Next thing I knew the T-rex was bounding right over us then it turned and looked at us so we ran again.
At some point we found some kind of restaurant and ran into it. There were people there and they gave us a funny look. Of course, shortly after it was terror as a raptor buddy flew thru window and started snapping at people. I was unable to dodge it fast enough and it caught me in its jaws. Next thing I knew it and I were in the jaws of the T-rex. Fortunately the body of the raptor was now protecting me from its massive teeth. I grabbed something and actually broke one of the T-rex's teeth and got myself out of its jaws. It munched the raptor and chased me.
I just ran and ran and ran thru the restaurant trying to knock things in its way. I realized that the end of the restaurant was coming so I turned around and ran at the T-rex. At the last possible second I took a flying slide under its belly. It just missed me as it reached under and trying to catch me with its jaws. Fortunately, for me the T-rex lost its balance when it tried to reach under itself while running and it flipped and to its head at full speed and snapped its neck.
Something happened after this but its fuzzy and I only vaguely remember people cheering or something and hugging my wife.
