A little back in time
In my dream last night I was exploring an old abandoned warehouse with 3 other friends (nobody from real life, although one of the kinda looked like my buddy, Adam, except with a full beard and just a hint of color to his skin), 2 guys and a girl. We had flashlights cause it was just starting to get dark. We talked about how cool it would be to live near something like this so we could explore more of it and more often (apparently we were on a trip or something). We got separated as we ran around and at one point I found someone's flashlight.
After awhile of running around the warehouse, I ended up coming out of the backdoor of it and running into the others who were all looking down from where we were standing. At this point it was daylight again and just down a small cliff was a ghost town. It was the style of old American large city of roughly the wild west era and surrounded by a forest. We were totally amazed and stoked that we had another new spot to explore.
That's when it happened.
As we were standing in awe, the whole town "flickered" and suddenly for about 3 seconds it was bustling like it probably had in it's heyday. Carriages, people in old style dresses, some men in suits, some in trench coats, shop owners trying to sell the stuff. We were all stunned, then it was the ghost town again. We looked at each other.
When we looked back it was the bustling town again, but this time it didn't change back. I stepped closer and a tiny part of the cliff crumbled and fell down. My "darker" friend started freaking out. He started saying how he had to get out of here cause they would think he's a black and it could be trouble cause we were in the south. I tried to assure him that he looked white, but he pointed to the very white people in the town and then freaked more.
At this point were all startled by some guys up on the cliff all wearing trench coats. The "darker" friend took off into the town so we chased him, but he got ahead in the dense crowds and we could only watch as one of the trench coat guys grabbed him by the arm and started leading him away. As he was being lead away, we saw some "mulatto" guys with their heads down trying not to watch and realized that our friend could really be in some serious trouble.
We did our best to follow him and finally caught up to the building he was taken into. We went inside and talked to someone, who told us he was gone already. It was at this point that we realized we had no idea where the girl went either! The other guy and I started to panic when we saw the trench coat guy, who'd grabbed our friend, enter the room.
He told us it was very important that we came with him immediately. While we walked he explained that he put our friend on a carriage straight to the north-south border to keep him safe. He had friends up there that would take care of him. Then he told us that it was very important that we find the thing that brought us here and thaty he was sent by God to help us out. We were so freaked out that we did not even notice that he put us on a bus. We took seats and he started to drive. It was a modern bus, but the other passengers were all in period dress. My buddy tapped my shoulder and pointed at the guy who saved us and we realized he was wearing a modern looking jacket. The thing that made it certain was that it had zippers.
We had an epiphany that he must be from the future, too. My buddy had a smoke grenade in his pocket so we sneaked up to the guy and then my buddy put it in his face and pulled the pin. The guy freaked and yelled bomb and jumped out the window. My buddy dropped the smoke grenade and we ran out of the bus. We saw some woman in a dress appropriate for the era trying to shove the pin back in the grenade when it went off and dumped smoke everywhere.
The rest is a bit choppy, but i vaguely recall the guy catching up to us and either explaining or us figuring out that we all looked like we were wearing period garb even though we weren't and something about he was in Tahiti when God grabbed him and sent him back for us. Also something about finding the "orb" or "crystal" that sent us back because it was evil and one very matrix sounding reference about us being plugged in.
